Craft Debacle November - Knitted Cable Rug

We've been on kind of a craft kick around here. It started with cable knit bath mats in November. The girls and I tore up old sheets and knitted a couple of these for Christmas preseents. Ours didn't look exactly like this, largely because I didn't know how to knit a cable and with huge chunky needles, wasn't about to try. I'm wishing we had made an extra for us! I'm waiting for yard sale season to find the right sheets to recycle for more.

I absolutely love the organic look of this chunky, cabled bath mat knitted out of recycled rags. Learn how to make your own with the free pattern on Cocoknits.

  1. I'm just not crafty enough to do something like this. Or maybe it's because I'm not motivated enough. Just started making Gabriel's baby food homemade and all natural. I can't load up my plate too much. I get overwhelmed pretty quick.
