The reason that rugs are a subject of such fascination and admiration for so many is that within their threads they carry the weight of history. The designs (which may have religious, talismanic or totemic meanings) tell the stories of their weavers, and of traditions passed down from one generation to the next.

Images via Koron007 Centuries ago, fabric was a rare and precious commodity only the wealthy could afford. So people treasured old and worn-out pieces of clothing to recycle and reuse in order to make new clothes. Thus the sakiori was born. Sakiori comes from the word "saki" which means to tear up or rip and "ori" which means weave. Recycling old fabric remnants into sakiori weavings follows the Japanese indispensable concept of “mottainai” or not wasting precious cloth that can prolong the fabric’s useful life through recycling and reuse. Weaving all these remnants of fabric was immensely hard work back then, however very rewarding and worth the effort as clothing made from repurposed cotton was vastly warmer, softer, and more durable than the rough linens that could be made from Japan’s natural fibers. Sakiori was mostly used to make rugs and covers, but also clothes - mostly jackets and vests. Today, the technique is experiencing a resurgence as a "green", ethical and economical art form.

I have had a lot of requests for the pattern for the 'scrappy kitchen mat' Well... I can't really call it a pattern, as such... but here's the low down on how I made it. It's super simple, and suitable for beginner crocheters. From what I can tell, this is a grey carpet nylon. Unfortunately I can't be more specific than that. This batch was given to me by one of my crochet buddies. I have no idea where you would buy it from. If you don't have access to carpet nylon... then think outside the square for alternatives. Before I acquired the nylon, I was planning to use some jute or sisal instead. Macrame cord would work well. Or even some old denim jeans, cut into thin strips. The other yarn used was crazy yarn. Click here to read more about how to make your own. I used a 5.0mm hook, and worked with the carpet nylon and the crazy yarn held together. I made a length of chain 60cm long. Then I worked back and forth in rows of sc (US) until the piece was 105cm long. If you have trouble keeping your edges straight... take a look at this tutorial As I worked, I just made sure that all of the joins/knots in the yarn fell to the back of my work. I DID NOT WEAVE IN ANY ENDS IN THIS PROJECT. I added a row of tassels along each end of the rug... using one strand of nylon and three strands of crazy yarn for each tassel. Then I cut a piece of non slip mat to size, and attached it to the underside of the mat. I sewed it on using four strand of sewing cotton for extra strength. And here is my finished mat. You could make yours in any size. Just cast on as many chain as you need for the width of the mat... then work in sc for as long as you need.

Ever since I began experimenting with waves in my weavings, I can’t seem to get enough of them. I love the fluidity and beauty that curves can create. So today, I’m popping in to share 5 wavy weaving techniques that you can add to your own weaving projects. Fun and quirky, waves are a great way to jazz up your weaving repertoire. (If you are brand new to weaving, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with several links to tutorials that will help you along the way). Some of the techniques I’m sharing today are new on the blog. And I’ll show you exactly how I did them. Others, I’ve shared elsewhere. In these cases, I’ll refer directly to the post where I’ve provided a step-by-step tutorial. Either way, you’ll be learning how to create each and every technique. Let’s get started!
