Woven Rug

last year an old friend passed away. his son gave me a garbage bag full of old clothing and slowly but surely i have been turning the materials into new and functional objects.

This is a woven rug.

This is the Baby Surprise Jacket- surprise because when you are finished knitting it it looks like a very strange little object

but after you sew 2 seems together you have a wonderful little garment!
