A Thrifty Find

of the fate-ful kind....

I have been thinking and pondering the idea of making one of these for a couple of weeks now.

The thought of cutting and ironing a whole lot of material was putting me off a little.

I popped into the local opp-shop last week for a quick look, and my-oh-my, 

I had to muffle my squeal of delight when I saw this

all ready, all cut, all joined into long lengths!
I truly trust the Universe.

They are of the jersey/knit type fabric and are quite narrow, which I think may be a good thing being that this will be my first attempt at crocheting a rag rug.

I'm telling myself to be patient - I have a small pile of unfinished projects to complete before I start this one.
