I got into braided rug making a couple years ago. My first attempt was a hellish project and I was daunted by it because I did everything you could possibly do wrong and still came out with a nice looking rug!

When I decided to tackle it again a few years later, I found out, via utoob, that I had done it all wrong, everything! I wasn't even braiding! I was plaiting!

What a discovery.

By watching the instruction videos I learned that I was making it so much harder than it is. Comical, really. My more recent attempts were actually fun to do and I am making a large rug out of my old wool blankets.

Anyway, I am thrilled to find so much info on the site, you can figure out how to do an endless number of things from videos posted there.
