April 2015 While a rug is an easy way to add warmth and character
to a room, knitting one might seem daunting. But American sisters
Nola and Linda have been creating rugs throughout their
professional lives. In their new book, they show all the techniques
you'll need, from appliqué to dyeing and from crossover techniques
to using recycled materials. And they use their original designs to
show just how much fun rug-making can be. There are rugs inspired
by Mondrian and Picasso, love heart rugs, rugs that look like a
swim in a tropical sea rugs with letters and even a rug that looks
like a brick wall. Each one is achievable project, even for the
beginner. And each one is a project you'll be excited to take
on.
