Add straps for handles and you're got a cool bag.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411608982136742177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-33377048186967395422010-05-20T20:41:05.500-07:002010-05-20T20:41:05.500-07:00That is so cool Sharon!That is so cool Sharon!~~Sittin.n.Spinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488509291525218944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-58090589382797264942010-05-20T12:05:56.080-07:002010-05-20T12:05:56.080-07:00Such a great idea for the rug.

I want two little round rugs to put on either side of our bed. I am sure the dogs will think they were made for them. The jean purse idea and then using the rest for rugs is such a useful way to use what was useful to someone else. Great idea. Have you seen the roving that is made from jean lent? I hear it's really neat stuff.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-71400564894235384042010-05-20T07:52:04.617-07:002010-05-20T07:52:04.617-07:00Oh that was bad! ;-) The rug looks great and I'...Oh that was bad! ;-) The rug looks great and I'm glad you are having fun with it. I liked rug weaving but not all that much. Sounds like you had a wonderful day though and those jeans, kudos on using every single part of them.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-78427236498903092022010-05-20T04:13:28.082-07:002010-05-20T04:13:28.082-07:00I know what you mean on those deliberations. Just...I know what you mean on those deliberations. Just remember: "perfect is the enemy of good enough". It is so very pretty.<br /><br />If you happen to have some of those cuffed weights around that you can strap around a wrist or an ankle, they can be put at either end of the beater to help get a heavier beat. Of course, you need two of equal weight. I've used two 2lb. weights.<br /><br />If you are doing more than one rug on the warp, you might want to go 'round your loom and tighten up the nuts and bolts after you finish the first rug. Certainly do so when you are done with this warp.<br /><br />The jeans rug will last forevever....I know this from experience.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-68507975042731819742010-05-19T21:51:58.973-07:002010-05-19T21:51:58.973-07:00The rug looks great!

You can tape a heavy iron bar to your beater to help - easier on the body.Evelynhttp://evelynoldroyd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-782861225972426292010-05-19T18:45:48.660-07:002010-05-19T18:45:48.660-07:00Your rug is beautiful!!!
