You can get kits Edna and yes it would certainly keep your lap warm. As far as the arthritis is concerned that may be a problem as you need to push and pull quite hard to knot the wool. Rag rugging is even harder. Not difficult just needs a bit of strength in the wrist and fingers.

It can be a bit fiddly Edna so not sure how you'd find it although you might find it okay in short bursts. You can buy kits all over the internet- I bought mine from here http://www.mariescrossstitch.co.uk/mcp/ ... _Rugs.html

Would a rotary cutter work on T shirts?

It's defo a thought...hmmm, I'm off to have a look now!

thats lovely , love the bright colours x

They are lovely but just take soooooooo long to do and since they're not very big there's not a lot you can do with them really- I vowed to make them into cushions but never got around to it (a bit like tidying up this mess I'm sitting in lol).
