Cool. It reminds me of pot holders I made as a child. Never could figure out how to get them off :(

I have a loom like that-need to use it.

i may not get thiss off either lol

I had one of these. Took a class several years ago and started the rug. Got about 18" done and was tired of it. It was also very difficult on my back. So I sold it to a friend
along with a hug pile of strips. She's been working on it and says when she gets done if I want the rug and/or the frame back she'd be happy to pass it back to me for free. Hope you have fun with it.

Oh I want to see this when you are finished!!

I could get those potholders off the loom. But I probably couldn't remember how now. I want to see the finished product -- OFF the loom!!

I can't wait to see it when you are done...do you stand it up when working on it?

i have a latch hook rug, anyone want to finish it for me? it's much smaller than this rag one though.

I wonder if you could do a complete tut on making the rug?

love your loom, I can't wait to see the finished rug

i have been setting down but i think i may have to stand up when im half way with it.

My great grandmother taught me to weave those rugs.. her loom was much the same but as I remember her "pegs" were "headless" nails. You remove the rug from the frame by "crocheting" it off.. each loop is drawn through the one before it.. then you stitch the last one to keep it from raveling out. Can't believe I remember that.. I was 9 and she was in her 90's when she taught me. She spent one day teaching me then said "now go home and dream about it and you'll remember how." Guess she was right.

really neat......I saw one at a quilt show wish I would of purchased it........when are you going to do a tut? calla

very neat about ur grandma, and to dream on it .

there is a tut on u tube , under peg rag waving

how cool!!! Can't wait to see it finished.

that is so cool!

Very interesting. Used to do the potholders, will be interested in seeing this when you're done!

What a wonderful way to use scraps. It will be gorgeous when finished

I remember the pot holders. My friends and I all had looms when we were kids. We must have made a million of them. I am looking forward to seeing your finished rug. Good luck.

I liked these too, but didn't thnk I would every get it done with this method. I crocheted a couple of denim rugs instead. Spent about 2 days making one. Much faster.

nice.... brings back memories of grandma's rugs.

God I wish my hands could do this! Can't wait to see it finished. You'll have it forever!

very interesting. My grandmother made a big rag rug my hand many many years ago and it is still around.
