Isn't it funny - when you are looking for something you can never find it but when you are looking for something completely different you find it!! - well thaqt's my experisnce of search engines.....

I found this site - very american but very inspirational. I want to have a go at the machine knitted rag rug (on her blog)

What wonderful colours! I'm so impressed and inspired. I went on there as I was intrigued by the idea of a machine knitted rag rug. I agree with you that it is lovely. I don't like machine knitting though. Much prefer using needles.

I can't help wondering how she manages to produce so much, write the blog and still have time to home educate her children. Obviously a lot more organised than I am.
