I stumbled across this idea when I was tying off a little trivet I made while my wife was in the hospital. I noticed that the series of half hitch knots I made around the hanging loop looked for all the world like the normal row... much more than braids or chain stitches do.
My wife is home from the hospital now, and as she's learning the craft, she was watching and filming it.
My papillon Hilde makes a cameo.
At the end I give some guidance about how I chose the colors for a rug- I start with the start, and follow the "dao" of the rug from there.

This is the largest rug I've made in a decade, and the most beautiful. The key clothing in this rug were clothes my wife and I wore 12 to 13 years ago, when we were wooing and wed.
There are three phases to it, the solid colors in the center, the variegated rows outside it, and the solid rows at the finish. Through out, you'll notice certain colors and sequences either repeating or contrasted, so the whole rug is aesthetically linked together by- if you will- visual fugue.
I hope to get some good stills of it, but since I've long promised to show off the finished rug, I decided to go ahead and post this now.
Once my wife is out of the hospital, we'll do a video detailing which garments are where, to show how wonderful this craft is at preserving memories and commemorating life events.

Background: I was finishing the rug made of the clothes my wife and I wore when we wooed and fell in love 13 years ago, and as she was in the hospital, and the rug celebrates our love and marriage, I lugged the huge rug down on the L and bus to finish with her.
When I was doing it, she wanted me to explain how you finish a color band row or solid color row, and as I had the camera along to take stills of her with the rug anyway, I recorded my final stitches and tieing off of the rug while explaining it to her and answering her questions.
The lighting gives a spooky or film noir overtone, but I think the video is made better by my wife's interaction, as while a brilliant linguist and utter genius, she's just started doing this craft.

A question I often get is how much material does it take to make a rug? In this video I show the scraps I'm going to use to make a trivet (hot pad) which came out about 8" around by 1/2" thick. I only used the multicolored green fabric, not the pants with the brown in them.
In the second video (to be posted later today or tomorrow) I show the finished product.
I've found that it takes ME about 25 pounds of discarded clothes to make a "normal" rug of 22" to 28" around, but this will vary by type of material, how thickly you cut the strips, how dedicated you are to using every possible inch of the original clothes, etc. (I'm pretty stubborn about using just about anything I can, even the seams. I love the "silk purse from a sow's ear" / recycling aspect of this craft.)

One the best things about this craft is you can use it to make a "memory rug" using clothes which are no longer usable, but which have sentimental value. This is one I'm making from the clothes (including lingerie) my wife and I wore when dating and when newlyweds... its my largest in years, and IMHO my most artistically spectacula

It was suggested that some would like to see the person doing the tutorials. I don't know what my Ichabod Crane like visage adds to the pedagogical process, but why not. In these videos I show me working on a blue jean rug which is almost done and which I hope to sell, while discussing some of the aspects of the craft.
