Hi all, I have a beautiful white knitted baby rug that my mother hand knitted. She made my sisters and I the same and its been used and used and washed and washed,. 3 grown boys later its in perfect condition and I hate to see it folded up in my cupboard. Besides a throw rug has anyone got ideas on what I could do with it, I dont mind it being cut up to be used for something crafty aslong as it can be kept.

why don't you use it for a part of a quilt? you don't have to cut it up, but it could be a center piece in the design.

Fix a showdow box with sentimental things that belonged to your children. Use the shawl/rug for the background.

I'm not sure if this would work with what you have, but what about putting it in one of those shadow box frames and maybe getting a really nice name plate engraved and put on the bottom of the frame. If it's knitted i wouldn't suggest that you cut it for any reason that would mess with the yarn and ruin it. Hope this helps!!

You should get a shadow box and put a large piece of the blanket in there along with your boys baby photos and hang it up on the wall ;). A lot of people do this sort of thing with baptismal/christening gowns.

Depending on the size..you could use a piece of the rug..and make a picture colage..add baby photo's and frame it to hang on your wall.

You could have it preserved, to carry down to your grandchildren. Most places that box preserve wedding gowns, also box preserve christening outfits & baby blankets. I had mine done, at very reasonable prices. Ask your local dry cleaner who they use for their wedding gown cleanings - or most dry cleaners will just insist that you go through them (they ship it out, and add a handling fee onto it).

If it is big enough how about making a small stuffed animal for each of your son's to give to their own children, or make them each a shadow box with a pic of them wearing it and cut it into 4 pieces...make a box for your own wall too and place a pic of all three of your son's wearing it.

Just save it for a future family member a.k.a new baby in the family.
