I love making rugs.All kinds of rugs.
I have done loom rugs, braided rugs, and the toothbrush rugs.
My favorite are toothbrush rugs.They are easy to take along.
I made a tooth brush rug each train trip we took from Iowa to Cal..

I think I will buy my rugs. More fun to quilt LOL

I would love to see this too....AND would like to see how to make the loom too. Also a tip on how to have the finished product NOT turn out hourglass-shaped would be nice too. My attempts at weaving have been less than wonderful! I will keep at it, but a couple of hints from a real weaver would be great, thanks!!!

Nice. My husband made me something similar a few years ago. It's 6ft by 6ft and I make afghans on it, by weaving a crosshatch of yarn and then hand tieing each intersection. Always thought of using it for making a rug.

But it is taking up too much room (it stands upright and I was using it as a room divider, but no room since I got my quilting frame), so now I'm looking to give it away.

Any body near Grafton, WI want a free loom?

I was never able to get the pot holder off as a child either. I think that a big crochet hook would work, just like you work around the edge of a sweater.

Nice, I love my frame like that. How do you keep it from pulling in on the sides? Mine also has a metal rod that is down each side so the rug stays straight all the way. Will be looking forward to seeing a finished picture . Make me want to get mine out again but to many irons in the fire right now.

Judith Ann ME to I love making rugs. ANd I must also say the toothbrush rugs are one of my faves.

I do the rushing rugs and crocheted rugs.

As for the frame to make it not look like an hour glass my frame has metal rods that go down each side to keep it straight.

Good Way to recycle old clothes, sheets, and fabric that came out of the stash with that "what was I thinking" look to it.
