Thank you for making this video. I have never made a rug like this, but have always hoped to someday. However, it always drives me crazy when I see those stairs steps in rugs; even in braided rugs! I always figured I’d use the slip stitch at the end of a color to ease the transition. But I understand why you make the stitch, cut it, then take the stitch out: it gives you the exact length you need on the old color to hide the transition. Nice tip! TFS. 🌷
Sure thing! We have it scheduled in fact! Thank you for staying in touch & let me know your thought once you see it! And THANK YOU for you compliment of the videos. MUCH appreciated!!!
Yes, an excellent technique, Lora! Thank you. I’ve been struggling with this very thing. Making a jogless color change when knitting in the round is easy. But with crochet when using such a big hook, well, I was stumped. So this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you❣️ God bless!
I’m new to the rag rug making..but I knew how to connect my strips together,some reason I still get a little confused when doing it though,but the way you just showed how to do it is easier and just made more sense. Thankyou!
I just found you today, my grandmother use to makes these rugs❤️ today I did a search and you popped up😊 I watched your round rug video and the pattern you created 2-10 written down (that video) do you have a video for this style of rug from the beginning? Your a great teacher I'm thankful I found you🙏
Thank youuuuuu! I'm thankful you found me as well! Happy New Year to you! You might also enjoy these 2 videos! One is crocheting an Oval Rug & the second a Rectangular Rug! OVAL: ua-cam.com/video/JU94FdKFdDk/v-deo.html RECTANGULAR: ua-cam.com/video/KAMt10NQgyc/v-deo.html
Hi, Lora! Good to see your new videos.I have made many rugs using your techniques and patterns and love them. I look forward to see new tutorials from you.
Great video!! Would you do the same idea making Amish Toothbrush rug ?? Im finishing each color and Restarting to avoid the stair step.....Dont know how to crochet..but this sure looks faster!! Im definately going to learn !!! Thanks again for your great tutorials !!
Blessings to you and thank you again so much. In a message I had written to you yesterday I had mentioned that it was because of you that I have started my first crocheted rag rug. It was this video that encouraged me to take on this endeavor. I like the professional way these transitions happen when using your technique. I'm on day two of making my very first rug and because of you I have successfully completed a transition in color. It is so exciting and I'm absolutely loving this craft. So again, thank you very kindly for sharing your knowledge.
Like others who commented here, I am crossing my fingers in hopes that you'll one day make a stairstep video for the toothbrush rug. I can't quite figure out how to apply what you did here to the other technique. Thank you for all your helpful videos - they are wonderful!
I used your first video to see how this was done. It was very well done. I had no problem understanding. Some people practically want you to do it for them. Don't take it personally, your original video was extremely helpful. Admittedly the lighting on this one is even better. Thank you for taking the time to share this tip.
Thank YOU for your compliment!! The fabric rolls can be purchased from our website! There are 6 yards (110 linear yards) of continuous 2" wide quality broadcloth & they are bias cut! (no threads)! Heaven to work with! Here's a link! (Any 4 roll purchase always ships FREE!) www.ragstorugs-bylora.com/ Just click on "Fabric"!
Hello, Lois! Rug making is a very addictive craft! I've been "hooked" for MANY years! It's my personal daily "therapy"! No, we no longer have the "Candy Cane" collection .. so sorry! We DO have many solid broadcloth fabric rolls you could use! Real Red, White, Black & Silver Gray would achieve this same look!
Hello, Kevin! Thank you for reaching out! I think it simply boils down to preference. I love both techniques (and twine-weaving) equally! Some people I've spoken with over the years have found crocheting rugs to be a challenge & twine-weaving or toothbrush easier. Again a matter of preference I feel!
Hello, Heather! Unfortunately no. Not the print 'Rug on a Roll' fabric rolls. We had to make the painful decision to take the rolls out of inventory when fabric prices tripled during covid. It was a sad sad day in paradise for us! :/ We DO however, have our beautiful batiks AND the solid broadcloth fabric rolls!!!
Good Morning! So happy you reached out! You can find the "Rug on a Roll" fabric rolls at this website! They are WONDERFUL! 100% cotton & bias cut, 2" wide and each roll has 6 yards of fabric (110 linear yards)!! Here's a link for you! >> ragstorugs-bylora.com/SHOP.php?category=72
Hello, Susan! Good question! For our very special fabric rolls that we sell in Rags to Rugs, I definitely prefer 100% cotton & bias cut! They are so awesome in all of our rugs & because they are bias cut ... no threads!! However, I use ALL types of fabrics in my rugs & in fact, that's part of the fun. I love seeing how different fabrics work together in texture & design. Thanks for reaching out! Happy New Year to you!
Hello! Most of my rugs I use 2" wide fabric strips. However, I always keep in mind the weight of the fabric I am using. The lighter the fabric - the wider my strips. The heavier the fabric - the narrower the strips. Here's a video that I go a little more in depth! Hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/kBTJynhOLXo/v-deo.html
Hello, Debbie! Thanks for asking! The fabric rolls can be found here! >> www.ragstorugs-bylora.com/ Just click on "Fabrics!". Each roll is 6 yards of fabric, 2" wide, bias cut (no threads!), 100% cotton & they come in 16 different colors! (They are AWESOME!)
I appreciate the work you've done in developing your technique. But I question why you don't just finish the old fashion way. When you are on your last stitch don't pull thru the last loop. Add your new color to the hook and finish stitch. Now your row is even and new color ready to go. I'm not being critical but it just seems more labor intensive and time consuming. Am I missing something? Thanks 😊
Hello, Karen! Thank you for reaching out! I take absolutely no offense to your comment & I don't see it as being critical in any way! There are many ways to transition no doubt! This is simply the way I have always done it and I enjoy sharing. But I'm confident it's not the ONLY way! Hope you have an AWESOME day & weekend ahead!

Beautiful technique. I enjoyed it! Do you have any more of the candy cane fabric to make a round or oval rug? (As you can see you have m e hooked!)

You're very welcome!
As I was doing “rug research”, I found you and the large crochet. What is the advantage of this technique over the toothbrush rugs? New to both…

Some people I've spoken with over the years have found crocheting rugs to be a challenge & twine-weaving or toothbrush easier. Again a matter of preference I feel!
Thank you for such a great video! What is the size of your crochet hook?
Thank you so much! Appreciated!
I used a "Q" (16mm) crochet hook for this demonstration. :)
Beautiful)
Thank you very much!
Will you be getting more of those different rolls? I love the candy cane colors. It looks like a treat ;)

How do you know how much fabric to cut off when you are adding your strips. Is it just a guess.
Hello, Leone! Sorry for slow response! (Mothers Day weekend!) Here's a video that might help you. Hope so!!
