craftgrrlI used this tutorial as the inspiration to make this item today. It's a former cotton bed sheet with a tear in it that I decided to recycle into something more useful... a knitted bathmat!
The cat checking it out. He never misses a photo op:
Yep, he likes it... you can tell because of how he's about to knead the crap out of it:
Here it is, rescued from Bea and wrapped up pretty waiting for Christmas:
I just tore the bedsheet into thin strips, attached the strips together as described in the tutorial and went at it. It only took me four or five hours while chatting with a friend on my couch with margaritas. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first as it was knitting up, but now it's so squishy, soft, and purposeful that I just love it.
