Treasure Under my Feet

 While out thrift shopping with my sister we spotted this beautiful rag rug at the Faded Rose in Clinton.  My sister bought it for me for Christmas.  I LOVE IT!!!  I've never seen another rug made this way.  It is knitted, maybe with needles or with a little loom.  I marvel just thinking about how the maker pieced the small fabric scraps together before even knitting the strips.

There were several big holes and frayed parts (the reason why it was just ten dollars), but I was eager to repair it and now you can hardly tell there was any significant damage. 

Originally I was going to put it in my kitchen or at my front door, but for now it is beside my bed cushioning my feet when I rise in the morning.
