Now that the loom is gone, my goal was to empty an overflowing huge bin of old used cotton and silk saris – left over from the weaving days by crocheting them into oval rugs. I ripped the long lengths of fabric into strips, machine stitched the strips together and single crocheted.

I wove this rug when I had just learned to weave, it is very sleazy – meaning not tightly woven, a bad weaving job all around, but I used the rug for years.
.
Until it recently developed a hole after machine washing.
.
I cut the warp away and crocheted the strips into an oval rug. It is a much thicker rug now..
The next goal was to use up all the leftover weaving yarn on cones and the yarn that I had over-dyed.
This rug is made of 16 strands of thick itchy rug wool.
.
This rug is made with about 60 strands of singles lace weight machine knitting yarn off cones, it measures 3 feet squarish – the largest rug made here.
.
.
This is the last of the yarn that I wound into skeins from cones and over-dyed.
.
There is no longer one bit of weaving yarn or rags left in my studio! WOOHOO!!

Pattern: Chanson en Crochet with revised front similar to the Lace Shawlette by Sandi Wiseheart
Started: 8.10.07
Finished: 8.15.07
Yarn: Knit Picks Andean Silk, 55% Superfine Alpace, 23% Silk, 22% Merino Wool
Hook: J
Gauge: 13 sc = 4″
Notes: In addition to changing the front shaping I also added a row of double crochet at the hem.
.
.
.
I compared the Lace Shawlette to the Chanson en Crochet and noticed that they were very close except for the angle of the fronts. I placed string where I wanted the new shaping line to be and made an enlardged photo copy of the printed photograph. I used this as my guideline for design.
