Rag rug

I'm making a plaited rag-rug. Takes a lot longer than you'd think.

The ingredients and history are: A blue towel that's a least 20 years old from my mother's house, I remember it wrapping be from had to toe; a pair of paisley pink pyjamas bought from a secondhand shop in Bristol when a student, that I sometimes wore clubbing; some red tartan pyjamas from a dear friend; a stripey dress bought just after Ruben was born in the hope that it would be flattering and easy for breast feeding (it wasn't, flattering or easy); a turquoise top bought in Lisbon on a rare frivolous shopping spree with my dear ballerina friend who I haven't seen for so long; and an old black ribbed top, another cast off from a friend that served me well for many years (the friend and the top).
Old Rope.
