Joining strips for rag rug

I was asked by Kristin how I joined my strips for my rag rug. Since picture are worth a 1000 words (VBG)... here it goes.

First I cut a slit into the ends of the strips to be joined.



Then pull one strip through the slit on the other strip.



Pull second strip through opposite slit.




Pull tight, but not too tight.... Voila! Your ready crochet.

WIP Wednesday

Oh boy... works in progress! I started a crochet rag rug out of old t-shirts.
First I cut all the t-shirts into strips...


Then with a large hook, I believe its size P, I started crocheting. It's a little over half done and going really fast.


I also finished one of the 2 BQ quilts that I have to do... and started on the second.




I also have a Singer Feather Weight for sale. The number on it is AH197280. One site I looked up dated it Aug. 19, 1947 another just gave the year of 1948. It's been well used but taken care of and serviced regularly. The electrical cord has been replaced for safety. Comes with all kinds of accessories that I have no idea what they are for and 8 bobbins.

$450 or best offer. Buyer to pay shipping.
