Oh my goodness. I loved this. You made it seem so easy. Thanks for much!
The Yorgason's says
So cute and SO easy! I will be making one soon! Great job!
Nicole says
In the rug I am working on, I have found that when joining strips, it sometimes helps to cut the corners off the strip without the hole…it reduces unwantet bulk, making it easier when you come back to that point on the next go-round.
dru says
Great idea….
I'm gonna try this…i lost my rag stash in my move…n we donr have any thrift stores around, so I'm gonna start collecting….i started a project with 'plarn' but im not fond of the way it feels…so it's gonna be a long time projevt, lol…
Thanx for this tutorial n bless you always, all ways
Jennwhite says
Great directions! I have a huge stash of fabric just sitting in tubs, I think this would be the perfect project for it! Going to get a giant hook tomorrow!
Remodelaholic says
Oh thank you for sharing this, I actually have one. My grandmother made it years ago and it just happens to be the perfect color for my baby's bedroom. I love it, and will have to make one ASAP for another room!
I would love it if you had the time to check out my blog. http://www.remodelaholic.com
Traci Brennan says
I love this! I just started to throw out a bunch of badly stained sheets…and now I will NOT throw them out…I'll make them into a rug! Thank you so much!
Anonymous says
I loved your article on making a rag rug. I will do it! 44 years ago I crocheted a yarn rug for the nursery, baby was on the way. (Didn't know how to crochet) Still have the rug and was so proud of it. Just never could let go of it, guess it is time to give it to my daughter and start the rag rug for my great grandchild. Thanks for the idea.
wendyvee says
Thank you so much for posting this! I have watched countless videos (even one that I purchased!) …. your instructions and vids were clearer and easier to understand.
Great Job!
fawndear says
Found you Via One Pretty Thing and I'm so glad I did. Love, love, love this tutorial. Great attention to the details. I know how to crochet but I stink at reading crochet patterns and this is a project that I know I'll be able to do thanks to your great instructions. I know I'll be making this rug soon. Thanks again.
Anonymous says
Thank you so much. I had already started a round rag rug and kept taking it all apart because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from curling. I tried to overcompensate by making the loops bigger but that only created excess so it rippled. Your tutorial helped tremendously. 🙂
Flassie's Fil'a says
Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
Got a kick out of seeing what you
said and your little boy with all
the books on the floor. Cute & funny!
God Bless You and Yours!!!
Shannon Jury says
Look at you Mandy-your blog is a HIT-as is your adorable rug! LOVE it and the colors!
Jennifer says
Thank You for this great tutorial! I bought one of these at a craft fair for $60 and used it for years. Now I can make my own.
Anonymous says
Adorable! Could you tell me how many sheets it took and about what size it ended up so I'm sure to have enough of the right colors before starting?
Griff-Fam says
This is so cute!! It makes me want to make one, but I have never made anything… When I'm ready, I'll come back and watch this tutorial!
Mandy says
A few answers to questions I've been receiving:
I've washed the pink/purple one – I figure sheets are washable so the rug is too. A few strips needed tucked back in after washing, but that's all.
The pink/purple rug is about 3 to 3 1/2 feet in diameter. I used one twin sheet set in pink, one twin sheet set in purple, and a top sheet in white, along with some random white fabric I had. How much you'll need not only depends on the size of rug you want, but also how tight you crochet. I'm not sure how much material I used on the yellow one because it was old curtains – I wished I would have measured the yardage, but there's no going back now!
Charlotte says
As a long time crocheter, let me say your rugs looks great! (the stitch you're doing is a single crochet, by the way…but good guess! )I'm going to have to check the rest of your blog out, looks like my kind of place! 🙂
Mama Thompson says
What a great rug…someday I may have to take a stab at one. Thanks for sharing all your tips…
Kerry says
i have a question ,How do you finish it?
kelly says
I wish I had pretty yellow and white fabric, but I guess my old faded blue sheets will have to do.:) One quick question, did you use a size 'Q' crochet hook? If I use a slightly smaller hook, will it just make smaller, tighter loops, or will it be too hard to work? I knit, but don't crochet, so I was thinking the smaller hook would just affect the 'gauge', but it would be nice to know for sure before I start. Thanks!
Mandy says
Back again with a few more answers:
finishing the rug – I should have talked about that – all you do is stop crocheting. Just tuck the end of the strip back into the rug. I tried to stop where I thought it looked least noticeable.
My crochet hook didn't have a size – it comes in a 2 pack with a gigantic blue hook and a huge gray hook – I used the huge gray one. If you use a smaller hook, it'll just be tighter loops – a little harder to work with but it's doable. Just make an effort to try to leave your loops a little loose.
Nancy Sabina says
I've always wanted to do one of these but have never known anybody who could show me how. Thank you!!
JB says
Great job! I've been meaning to make one of these forever – I even have the fabric laying around. Maybe now I'll be motivated to try it. Thanks for sharing!
Jessica says
Amazing design!! Spacify has a collection of modern Buy Rugs with an array of modern designs. Each has its own great look that will find a way to enhance your home
I just bookmarked this to check out later when I have more time (a 2-year-old is tugging on me at the moment). I've been toying with the idea of a braided rug, but I like this better! Thanks for the tutorial!
Dawn says
Great tutorial… thanks for taking the time and being so thorough!
Karen says
Awesome tutorial Mandy. I believe it's the best one around! I have been meaning to start one of these but I definitely need a larger size hook. Very beautiful rug!
Madelynnnn says
Do you think this will work with ripped up tshirts (t-shirt yarn)? I have a bunch that I ended up not using for a project and I think this would be a good replacement.
Great idea, by the way!
O'Baby Fashions says
Love this rug! Perfect for your little boy! I will have to try this rug I have so many sheets in my house that I don't use but just cant get rid of finally something I can do with them!
Tyler says
definitely gotta do this once I can find a big hook!
How amazing is this? SO AMAZING! What a great entry into Iron Crafter! Brilliant!
Ro Magnolia says
I love this and can't wait to try one myself. I've never crocheted before and honestly I find it a little bit intimidating, but you make it sound easy enough for even me to try! 🙂
Fawnda says
WOW! That is so cool! I wanted to let you know that you made it in the top 10 Iron Crafters!
Jess B says
I've always wondered how to make a rag rug! thanks for the tutorial!!
Samuel says
Everytime I see rag rug, I remember my grandmother. She also loves making this. In our home, we have a lot of of rag rug collection from my grandma with lots of different designs. Though we already have carpet in our study room, my mom put rag rug to the door. My mom is really meticulous on household chores. She wants everything are clean and organize. Even she have busy sched, she'll find way not to miss any household chore like carpet cleaning. Bartlett, our hometown, carpet cleaning (Bartlett Illinois-based) services are popular among housewives and bachelorette because it is very helpful to lessen their worries on household chores.
jheape1 says
Thanks for posting this! My Great-Grandmother and her mom made these! I have one they made in my son's room! It is so nice to be able to know how to make one!
Regina Diniz Outeiro says
Wow, love it!!
Kristi says
Hello, I just watched all your videos and I have a quick question: how do you finish the end of the rug? I saw you mentioned tucking loose edges/ends of fabric to the back of the rug but how do you finish the last piece? Do you weave it back through? I just want to make sure it is secure so it doesn't unravel. Thanks!
@Creative Kristi
MommaHen says
….or, you could just make me one!!
Nike says
Thank you! My mom made one of these when I was a kid and I'd completely forgotten about this technique. I'm so glad I saw your tute on TJ! I can't wait to try making one for me!
Amy says
I saw your post on Tip Junkie and immediately wanted to make one. I finally got around to shredding my old canvas tab curtains got started. I have to say, that is not the best choice of fabric. It was SO hard to crochet, my hands and wrists are sore and swollen today. I misread your line about the extra chains and went a little crazy with throwing them in there so my rug "looks like a flower". That was from my 4 year old. She loves it and hence it is hers. I'm definitely going to try this again, but with more flexible fabric and much fewer extra chains! Thanks for the tutorial!!
Kala says
I made a jean rug using this method. Thank you so much for sharing. It made it so much easier.
I have been looking for a rug for my baby's room. Haven't found one that matches. I made all the bedding, curtains, etc…and wanted one that was the same shade pink as the fabric I used. Luckily I have plenty of fabric left. Just went out and bought the 2 pack of crochet hooks you mentioned in a comment. Going to start on this rug asap! Baby due in exactly one month. Hope I can finish in time. Found you on Tip Junkie! Thanks for the aweseome tutorial!
Just a bit of info, the two-pack you bought: the grey hook is 15mm and the blue one is 19mm. Sizes Q and S, respectively.
Love this rug. Gonna go try one myself. :]
Mommafo says
Your race track analogy is great. I have crocheted for years, but I really liked that comparison. 🙂 My sister and I tried to make rag rugs once, I can't remember what stitch or whatever we were using, but it never turned out right. I've never tried to teach anyone how to crochet. = I may just send her this page! lol 🙂
mtroxel says
I keep trying to make a circle rug but my stitches seem too tight and it ends up looking like a bowl. What am i doing wrong?:(
Katy B says
I have had this same problem! i went several rows out to see if it just needed to wear and the problem only gets worse. 🙁
JodieT says
I love this. I have always wanted to make one out of my scrap fabrics. I never want to throw any away. You make it look so easy. Thank you bunches.
Five of US says
I just found you via Pinterest and I am SO glad! I recently learned how to start the rug, but I wasn't sure which holes to crochet into while making the constant circle. The tutorials I found on YouTube were so frustrating because they'd only teach how to start, but nothing specific. Thank you!
KRayMcA says
Omg, I am dying to make this RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU THANK YOU! Found you via Pintrest and I'm so glad I did. I am going to get to the craft store for a hook TODAY!
andreavono says
I love your tutorial, it makes this super easy to understand. The only problem I have is that my fabric (from a sheet) is fraying at the edges, so I feel like the rug it getting "messy" looking. Is there any fabric that won't fray? Or do you have any tricks to help hide or stop this fraying?
Dani Marie says
I just wanted to let you know I included this in my 2011 Ultimate DIY Gift Guide (101 tutorials/recipes)! 🙂 https://danimariedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/2011-ultimate-diy-gift-guide.html
Kelly H says
Love this tutorial and I have the perfect room that needs a rug like this. I have a question about connecting a new fabric strip. I'm incredibly visual and I've looked at those photos over and over and still don't understand how you connect to a new fabric strip. Could you explain a little more?! Thank you so much!!
aka Cupcake says
Ditto all the great comments everyone has posted. I just wanted to comment on your intro about having to have something to do while watching the Olympics… I am exactly the same way. For some reason, I feel like I can't just enjoy television without doing something with my hands!
Keep up the great work!
Sarah says
Thanks again for such a wonderful blog post about this. I feel like I'm ready to go find some old sheets and start a rug for my little boy's room! Thanks!!
Laura says
VERY easy to understand tutorial. Thank you so much. I'll get right on it. 😉
danielle hatfield says
Such a great tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for to create an entry way rug! Thank you 🙂
Asiya says
Love this! You make it look so easy!
Amy B says
Found you on Pinterest! This is awesome! Thank you! I'm not very crafty, but love crafty stuff and wish I was. I can usually follow someone else's directions. Thanks again.
denice says
try adding extra stitches to make it lay flatter….
Steph625 says
So how do you connect the strips of fabric after you cut them? I've heard of some sewing them together and some who leave them attached at one end.
Steph625 says
Oh nevermind, I read further! So you just wound the separate strips into balls and attached them to each other as you crocheted the rug itself, right?
that's right, Steph – – attach them as you go
Willowsidiom says
I love the charm of these handmade rugs and this is looking like the next project I want to try.I'am not very good at crochet but your video was very helpful and I can finally use up some of my enormous fabric stash,Thank You!!
mira says
I've glanced at crochet tutorials before, but finally took a longer look yesterday when I happened upon a bunch of jean strips I'd cut for my boys' room 2 years ago. Your tutorial was just what I needed to get started. Thanks! OH, and I hope you don't mind if I link back to you if I ever get around to blogging my progress…

Good job and so easy Sagrb Thank you
chelslee10 says
I saw your tutorial over on pineterest. Your rag rugs are so beautiful. My great grandma used to make these out of bread bags or plastic grocery bags as outdoor mats. I never thought to make one out of actual cloth before. I'll have to give it a try for my entryway 🙂
Linda says
My aunt use to braid rugs out of old clothes etc. She would get down in the floor and braid them. I loved those rugs. This looks so much easier! Thanks!
JKStamy08 says
So you learn something new everyday! I just read this because I wanted to see how you do the round ones, I never had luck with round so had to make square ones.
What I am really excited about is not having to sew the strips togather, can you imagine what kinda time this will save me?!!
Tamika Rybinski says
Thanks so much for this, I have been wanting to learn to make one of these, I am cleaning out and it will be great to make useful things out of old material!

saw2sas says
Can you use old t-shirts and blouses? I ask this, because my sister passed away and I have her shirts that I was trying to figure out what to make with them for me and my other sister. I am not a quilter, but I do crochet. How would I cut up the shirts to make the yarn? Thank you for your help!
I've never tried old tshirts, but I bet it would work. To make tshirt yarn you cut the shirt into strips (parallel with the bottom of the shirt) then pull on the strips and they turn into tshirt yarn. Good luck!
Waseem says
you make it look so easy…I like it.

Just ordered some big crochet hooks to try this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Kraymond19 says
Great tutorial! What size hook did you use? I may head to my local hobby store today & get started this weekend!
I'm not sure what size hook it was, but it was the biggest they had when I went to buy one – – it's plasticy and gray…
Faye Libler says
Hi, I used your pic and linked to your blog today. I hope that is OK, if hot, let me know and I will remove it. libler.blogspot.ca

I crochet alot, so I am wondering, is there a reason why you use a chain stitch to increase rather than crocheting 2 sc into one?

I have about a zillion t-shirts that I would like to use for a rug, either crochet or latch hook, or maybe something else entirely.
Any ideas?
Lisa says
I was watching your videos today on how to make a round crocheted rag rug. I noticed that when you were making the round rug, after you joined the circle and began to make your stitches, it appeared you were making slip stitches instead of single crochet stitches. Is this the case? Thank you, L. Qualls
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I loved this tutorial so much that I linked it to my blog. It's included in an article I wrote about re-using old clothing and textiles. you can find it here http://www.chappellavenue.blogspot.com Please let me know if you would like me to remove it and I will. Keep up the good work!
Peggy Wickham says
I have looked at your pictures several times and am having trouble figuring out what you do to secure the strips after you slip it through the slit, it says you fold it over. Do you not have to sew it or something else to secure it? Thanks for posting this wonderful tutorial- can't wait to try it!
You're right Peggy – – you just fold it over – you don't have to secure it because as it's woven in to the rug, it will hold itself
Kate Penman says
This post goes back a long way, I know, Lol!! But I have just found it so wanted to say 'THANK YOU' for posting the tutorial! I have always wanted to have a go at making a rag rug. A neighbour in Nova Scotia used to make them and they were so beautiful!! She used to hang them all out on a line on the front porch so that passers by could see and perhaps would buy them. They were soooo colourful, I just fell in love with them! So thank you for the tutorial to help us beginners! 🙂 I've got sheets all ready and I'm dying to try it! I do crochet so hopefully I won't find it too challenging… 😉
Just a wee tip, if I may? When you are connecting your strips: If you cut slits in both ends of each strip, put one strip in each hand, matching two slit ends together. Now thread your left hand strip through the slit in the end of the right hand strip (Just as the way you suggested). BUT – then thread the OTHER END of the left hand strip that you just threaded through the right hand strip, through the first slit that you just passed through that right hand slit). Does that make sense? Basically what you are doing is taking 2 strips, threading 1 strip (lets call it 'A') through the other strip (we'll call it 'B'), then creating a circle by threading that other end of strip 'A' (that you've just threaded through the 2nd strip,) through the hole at the other end of Strip 'A'. Then when you come to thread the next strip, you do exactly the same… A strip threaded through each end of each strip. There you have a long line of strips without any loose ends or any knots, or whatever…
That way you join them without having to fold – and thus NO ENDS TO TUCK IN! And it keeps all the ends secure. Which may help you when it comes to washing the rugs. No 'stray' ends will come out. 🙂 Hope that's been helpful! I can see what I'm doing, in my head. But perhaps I'm not terribly great at explaining! Lol!
Anyway – thank you again for the tutorial! 🙂
Mandy Beyeler says
thanks, I'll have to try that!!
Kelly says
I'm having trouble with joining the strips – I understand making a slit, then inserting the other piece and folding it over, but what do you do after you fold it over?
after you fold it over, you just keep crocheting. There's no need to tack it down or anything, because as it gets crocheted into the rug, it will hold itself into place. Good luck!
Kelly says
Mandy – I'm having an issue with starting the round rug…it's turning out a little "puffy." The circle lies flat, but if I push the middle out, it turns into more of a hat shape. What should I do differently?
Audra White says
Thank you so much for posting this! I've made the round rag rug and didn't know how to make the oval one. With your tips I figured it out! I'm making mine out of old t-shirts (which make for a very soft rug). I'm hoping to save money for Christmas present this year and this will make for a great gift!
Stephanie Mason says
I need help! Mine is puffing up to a hat! What should I do?
Catmom says
Your hooks are sizes N and P.P is larger.
sashkonela says
I really, really need a new rug. Do you think I could make it squared?
I think to make it square you would crochet back and forth in rows, not around in a circle. Good Luck!
Charity says
I hope you don't mind if I answer some of the questions you have gotten here. T-shirts will work great for this project if you cut them into t-shirt yarn (lots of good tutorials out there via google and youtube). I always thought the gray crochet hook was a P and Blue is Q but either way they do come in a two pack at walmart and either can be used for this project but gray is easier to handle. For those that have trouble getting it to lay flat…if it looks like a hat, there are not enough stitches in the round–on the second time around, you should be doing 2 sc (the stitch used here is a single crochet or sc) in each hole (for a round rug), in the next round, you will do 1 sc in the first, 2 sc in second hole and repeat, alternating 1 and 2, next round, sc, sc, 2sc, sc, sc, 2sc. Each round, you will just add one sc in between the 2sc,, so round 4 would be sc, sc, sc, 2sc, sc, sc, sc, 2sc etc. If your rug looks ruffled, don't do so many increases in a round. The rule of thumb is no more than 10 increases in a round. So, if you start with ten stitches in a circle and do 2sc in each stitch for the second round, you have only done 10 increases, then if you do 2sc in every other of those 20 stitches, you have still only increased by ten stitches. Hope this helps some of you who had trouble! (One of these days I might do a tutorial myself lol).
Corina hoole says
I'm a beginner,I'm going to try making the round rug.
Zane Wooder says
I don't really watch much if any television but when the Olympics was on I couldn't stop watching it. I thought it was so amazing to see these athletes with such passion for success in their sport. I love the finished project. using yellow and white fabric was a good choice.

Thanks , I have the torn sheet strips and I am going to try to do this! Your tutorials makes it look easy although I cannot crochet!

Alison Nieman says
Found you on Pinterest! i will have to try to make this. Haven't attempted a rug yet.
Heather Grant says
You are freaking awesome! Found you on pinterest as well. Sooooo glad I did!
cottonreel says
I found you on Pinterest also. I'm going to use my old T shirts
Claire Rendle says
Pinterest is also where I found this! I can't believe how easy you made this look! Thank you so much for doing this, I'm going to be sorting through some old sheets and asking friends and relatives if they have any unwanted ones now as I really want to make some rugs to make our home cosier!
♥ Jess ♥ says
Love this! One of the easier tutorials I've seen.
Will have to try it soon so I can stop using a blanket as a rug 🙂
spruce cottage says
take a dowel and make it the length of the hook you want. next take a crochet hook and with a pencil mark a pattern on the dowel. Next with a sharp knife or tool that will cut the dowel, carve and then with sandpaper smooth the "hook". I've made many in sizes of different length and circumfrence. Try it and see how easy it is. Afraid? Ask your husband, dad, son, you get it some male member.
I"m 77 and still make them.
Irene_J says
This has gotten me interested in rag rugs in a way i was not before and i'm commenting because my parents have the same striped sheets you're using in your picture (in their rag sheet pile now), but i remember them well growing up!

Jane Green says
Mandy your rugs are so warm and happy! I have been wanting to make one but it seemed so troublesome with all of the prep work. This is so freeing – enough for me to give it a whirl. I love to cut with my rotary – so this is a win win!! I do have minor crochet skills (granny squares). Thanks so much and blessings to you.
Maizy says
Thank you! My friend has two huge rugs that she made and I've always wanted to do it, they are so beautiful ~ I just had a few questions about how to attach the strips to one another, which you cleared up – and now I can get started. Thanks for your post!
Amy says
This is an awesome tutorial! My great grandmother used to make these, and I've always wanted to know how to. The house I'm renting right now needs a rug BADLY so I'll probably be attempting this. But I have a quick question. If you're making an oval rug, do you just make a longer loop and kind of hold it in an oval as you get started? Do you need to sew together the straight parts of the oval to keep from having a slit down the middle? (I guess that was two questions, but oh well)

Mandy Beyeler says
Right Amy – – in the beginning you would add more crochets to make the starting point a longer loop. Good luck with it!
Jenn says
Hi, Amy! Instead of making your chain into a loop/circle, you keep it a straight chain. Then you turn it backwards on itself and crochet all the way around it. So. To start out, make a chain, and then do your first single crochet stitch in the second chain from your hook. Keep crocheting, and when you get to the other end of the chain, you crochet around it to the other side. I'd look for some tutorials on youtube (crochet by teresa has wonderful tutorials). You can watch it all in slow-motion, step-by-step. The stitch is called a single crochet. The oval is commonly used in patterns for the bottom of baby booties. A video like this might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B9BinO3ULg If the spaces in the middle bother you and you're ambitious enough to add another step, then start out with a "foundation single crochet," instead of a chain, for which there are numerous tutorials on youtube as well. Best of luck!

I'm doing a round rug and it keeps curling in on itself. Any idea why? How can I stop it from doing that?
Mandy Beyeler says
try adding in more single crochets and see if that will help… good luck with it
kaitlynmvarley says
how long would one in a circle take to make?
digitalcollagepapers says
Just a comment to say "Way to go". This may just keep another craft skill alive.
Not only that, but it keeps all those done for sheets and T-shirts on a second run around the track.
I'm backing you mightily!
Jenn says
Ohhh, I love this! I am definitely going to do it! If the following is helpful to anyone, the stitch is called a single crochet, and the hook is a size P. Here's the link for them at Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Jumbo-Crochet-Hooks/17354831
sherry truitt says
Thanks Jenn. Do you remember the # of the hook? Could it be a 10 possibly?

Ohhhh, the wonderful memories! Many posts have mentioned recalling their grandmothers' or aunts' wonderful rag rugs, but I haven't seen any 'outdoor' variety posts. My grandmother raised her farm family during the Depression & never wasted ANYthing. Always busy with her hands, she used what she had to live out the "necessity is the mother of invention" proverb. In addition to rag rugs & piece quilts, etc., I remember so fondly seeing her make "back porch rugs" with the 'new' store-bought (plastic, therefore weatherproof) bread wrappers. Thank you so much, Mandy, for the sweet memories & helping keep this craft alive – especially in this – all too often – throw-away society. : )
williamsea10 says
I notice there are not many frayed edges on your strips. Do you fold them over and iron them because I didn't see that step at the beginning. Thanks!
Mandy Beyeler says
I didn't – – they kind of fold over as you're working with them, but there are some parts where you can see frayed edges and I don't mind it at all.
Ethan G. says
I think I might do this with my old sheets, but i might try it as a never-ending granny square. Sounds fun.

Hi Mandy~
GREAT project…I remember making this kind of rug my Grandma taught me back in the 60's back in Honolulu!
Now I will make it with all the fabric my Mom and I have collected over the years!
Thanks so much…~Judi
Carol Hartfree says
Thank you soooooo much. I've just made my first ever rag run (oval) and it looks just wonderful.
Christine Rowe says
I love this and can't wait to try one myself. Thank you
Christine Gibbons says
Can you tell me where the pattern directions are.
Mandy Beyeler says
I don't have a written pattern, sorry!
Sydni Gauwitz says
Thank you so much for taking time out to make these step by step videos! The rug is exactly what I have been looking for and having been dying to make. I actually have fabric all cut and ready to go, I just was a "BIG CHICKEN" at trying to get started since I didn't know how to make each row (aka. circle, oval) bigger. I knew I would end up with one big knot or simply a tower of crocheted fabric. Obviously, neither one would do me any good. But, you have made this out to be so simple. I now need to grab my fabric, hook, and get to work. I can't wait! I am also really looking forward to checking out the rest of your site, as you seem like my kinda girl when it comes to the crafting world. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me how to make the rugs I loved to play on when I would go to my Great-Grandma's house over 30 years ago. Not only will this be fun to make, but it will bring back wonderful memories. God Bless you, Mandy! Love in Christ Jesus, Sydni G.
Mandy Beyeler says
You can do it!!
Sharon says
Hi Mandy,
4 years on and your tutorial is still going strong – hurray – the internet has many advantages.
Thank you for your words of wisdom, they are very inspiring.
All the way down to Auckland, New Zealand.
God Bless, Sharon
nichole carlson says
About how long did it take you to make the yellow rug starting with the tearing/cutting of the fabric?
Mandy Beyeler says
Great question – I'm not sure – probably about a week, just working on it in the evenings
sherry truitt says
I was wondering after saw your wonderful tutorial is it possible to use a standard needle? I don't have one of those larger ones that was shown in the tutorial. I have a feeling it might take a little longer by using it, but that's okay was just curious if it could be used. Thanks!
Mandy Beyeler says
I say give it a try! I think it would work, but would just be tighter and take longer, like you mentioned. good luck!
Angela Nicke says
I absolutely love these rugs,wasn't sure how to make them, I thought crochet was involved but I wasn't sure,now I have got to get busy-Thanks for the tutorial ans the share,will enjoy these for winter projects…..you wouldn't happen to have a crocheted winter bootie pattern would you?My Grandmother use to make them, and I can't find one anywhere that fits her style-they look more like moccasins than booties,very warm.please let me know.Take care, and love you site.

when u add chain stitches on corners do u do it same spot?? exact on other side?? stagger?? do u add on top of rug??/ i've heard 10:00/12:00/2:00. if so it has u adding on top also. some directions are vague like u have to figure out how many stitches to add. very frustrating cause i've ripped mine out 5 times cause it looks like a lima bean.
Shelly says

One of my aunts had one of these rugs in her bedroom, she always told me she made it with a toothbrush, I don't really know what she meant by that.

Branching is, undoubtedly, one of the best and most important features in Git. If you already understand the basics of Git, you can take your knowledge one step further and get the most out of the popular distributed SCM by using one of its core capabilities: tracking relationships.
Relationships Between Branches
In Git, one branch has nothing to do with any other branch in your repository. From a technical standpoint, this is exactly what you want: clearly and completely separated contexts for different lines of development.
From a semantic point of view, however, it can make great sense to have some kind of connection between two branches; especially when it comes to exchanging data between your local code and a remote repository. A situation like the following is fairly common in many real-world projects:
- You have a local branch that you work with. Let's call it "development."
- To share your work, you publish this work on a remote repository in a new remote branch.
- Since this remote branch should act as a counterpart for your local "development" branch, you name it the same (leaving you with "origin/development").
This is when you explicitly want some kind of connection between the two branches. And this is where tracking relationships come into play.
When preparing for writing my online book on Git, I was surprised by how few Git users knew about tracking relationships, which suggested that this small article explaining the feature might be useful.
Ahead/Behind Information
With a tracking set up between two branches, Git will inform you when one branch contains new commits that the other one doesn't have:
- If your local branch contains commits that haven't been published/pushed to the remote repository, your local branch is "ahead" of its remote counterpart branch by some commits.
- If your teammates have uploaded commits to the remote, the remote branch will have commits that you haven't downloaded/pulled to your local branch yet. Your local branch is then "behind" its remote counterpart branch.
If you run
git status, Git will then inform you about any discrepancies (Figure 1).
Figure 1.
You can then:
- pull from the remote to receive the new commits that you don't yet have in your local repository.
- push the commits to the remote that you haven't yet published and make them available to your teammates.
Your goal should be to create and keep parity between the two branches. Setting up a tracking relationship helps you stay up-to-date about this.
However, keep in mind that the information (about remote branches, remote commits, etc.) that you have in your local repository is only as fresh as the last snapshot that you requested. This is because remote data in Git is updated only when you explicitly request it. It does not happen "automagically" in the background. In practice, this means that you should remember to update remote data by performing a simple
git fetch <remote-name> from time to time.
Defaults for Push and Pull
There's another benefit you get from a tracking connection: It provides Git with defaults for pushing and pulling. Let's see how this can make life easier.
By default, the
git push and
git pull commands look as follows:
$ git push <remote> <branch> $ git pull <remote> <branch>
Both commands expect us to provide a remote repository and a branch as arguments.
With a tracking connection set up, we've defined a "remote counterpart" branch for our local branch. Git then uses this information and lets us use the
push and
pull commands without further arguments.
How to Create a Tracking Relationship
Creating a tracking connection is easy. When creating a new local branch that is based on an existing remote branch, you simply use the
git checkout command with the
--track flag set, for example:
$ git checkout —track origin/development
This command will create a new local branch called "development," which is based on "origin/development." It will directly perform a checkout on this new local branch and (thanks to the
--track option) make sure that a tracking relationship is set up properly.
When you first want to publish your local HEAD branch on a remote, you can use the
-u flag with the
push command:
$ git push -u origin development
This command tells Git to publish our current local HEAD branch on the "origin" remote under the name "development." The
-u flag makes sure a tracking connection is set up.
Keeping Track of Trackings
To know which trackings are set up in your project, you can use the
git branch command with the
-vv argument:
$ git branch -vv
Figure 2 shows typical results (Git provides the tracking information in the square brackets in Figure 2).
Figure 2.
If you're curious how this works on a technical level, Git records your tracking connections in its .git/config file (see Figure 3).
Figure 3.
Easy, Cheap, and Useful
Tracking relationships are very easy to set up, very easy to handle, and extremely useful: They save you a lot of typing (and thinking) and thereby prevent mistakes.
Use them whenever you can. They make branching in Git even easier than it already is.

|Moral :
|Twice in this episode people walk in on Barclay playing in the holodeck, embarrasing him immensely. I don't know about you, but I would really, REALLY want to lock the door if I was on a holodeck. Yet there is no indication that anybody over rides a lock in order to get into the holodeck, they just walk in.
|Great Moment :
|I absolutely love the bit where Troi, Riker and Geordi come across the 'Goddess of Empathy', most epsecially Geordi's stunned reaction.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|The transporter test objects seen in this episode are actually casings for US Navy sonar bouys.
Dwight Schultz was a long-time fan of Star Trek, and had asked Rick Berman if he could be on the show if the right part ever came around. He also mentioned being a fan to Whoopi Goldberg when they worked together, and she also recommended him to the producers. The producers were so keen on the idea that they wrote the part of Lieutenant Barclay specifically with him in mind.
Barclay mentions a flux capacitor to the holographic version of Troi in one of their sessions. The flux capacitor is the device that makes time travel possible in the Back to the Future movies. This may be an error (or deliberate joke) since the actual device Wesley referred to was a flow capacitor!
Some have felt that Barclay was intended as a satire of fans who are obsessed with Star Trek (people like me, essentially). The producers and director of the episode deny that this was their intent. Michael Piller commented that of all the characters on the show, Barclay was the one most like himself.

Holyoke Center, Harvard University
Holyoke Center, which occupies a full city block in the heart of Harvard Square, is a ten-story, 360,000 square foot facility originally designed by José Luis Sert in 1960. The main plan of the concrete structure is H-shaped, with the north wing along Massachusetts Avenue and south wing along Mt. Auburn Street. The central connecting portion sets back from both Dunster Street and Holyoke Street and is approximately the same width as the two wings. The structural height is 133 feet and the total height is 167 feet.
Holyoke Center is the main administration building of Harvard University. At street level, a pedestrian arcade, occupying two stories in height, runs through the block. Originally, the arcade was no more than a link connecting the Harvard Yard and the river houses and the main entrance to the offices. Then in 1993, as part of "The Shops by Harvard Yard" project, ten kiosks along the arcade were opened after renovation. In 1999, two glass gates on each side were installed to block out the wind and for security reasons. Now it is an active area because it is the main entrance to the offices, several shops, and restaurants. On the north end of the site there is a branch bank and on the south end there are a heath center reception and a library. The above floors of the building were occupied by university administration offices and University Health Services including a fully-equipped infirmary. There is a parking garage underground.
The facades show the architect's ideas of modernism. The random pattern of the windows and sandwich panels represent the variations inside. The glass of the windows is held by metal frames. Across each window, on three sides (except the north side where the window bars are brick red) of the building, there are red, orange, and yellow bars. Large sheets of windows are designed to "frame the view". The windows do not open.
The construction of Holyoke Center had four phases. Phase 1 completed in 1961. The south half of the H-shaped building was built, and University's Health Services moved into the completed wing. The building was expanded on the east side at street level in the Phase 2 in 1963. In 1966, the north wing was built in Phase 3. The majority of the construction completed. In the same year, in Phase 4, a bank was built on the north end of the site.
Holyoke Center was designed by José Luis Sert in the 1950's as an administration building of Harvard University. Mr. Sert was a world class architect, and also a former dean of Graduate School of Design in Harvard University. It was the first high rise building in Harvard University. The design gave rise to much controversy. The building was thought to be too high, too large, and showed no respect to the historic area in which it was located. The site was surrounded by historic brick buildings wit Georgian roofs, which were no more than two stories. The building was called "grey elephant" due to its Brutalist reinforced concrete facades.
Holyoke Center was the only high rise cast-in-place concrete building in Harvard University at that time. The innovation with a new type of surface was an architectural experiment. However, the concrete started to crumble 15 years after its completion. The configurations of the facades were also advanced for its time. Alternated with clear glass, the translucent sandwich panels allow much sunshine into the interior spaces. However, the windows could not open and the "three-pipe" system contributed to the serious energy costs issue.
It was the first high rise building in that area. It was the beginning of modern architecture activity of Harvard University. After its construction, Harvard Science Center and Peabody Terrace were built.
The value of this building is considered as a symbol of modern architecture activity in Harvard University in the 1960's. Its innovative use of new materials and new structure were very advanced for the time. Although the restorations and improvements never stop, it is thought to be a successful architectural experiment.

A Whole New World with The G System
The G System is a free and open source simulation framework and virtual reality, using Qt and KDE. The recent 0.5 release adds multi-user capability, an important milestone in the history of this project. Using the G System many users can now join in the same virtual universe.
The G System framework provides advanced network distributed operations, allowing for huge simulations. The virtual reality created with the G System, called G Universe, focuses on evolution. This creates a virtual, multi-user, evolving universe with both adventurous and scientific aspects.
This combination of interesting scientific research and a virtual online reality is what makes the G System so exciting. Users are thrown into a world that is enjoyable as well as interesting from the aspect of life research, resulting in an evolving universe where the user is plays an important part. Just as important, the current client is a Jabber IM client!
The evolution and life research aspect is an important one as it tries to fill a gap in todays knowledge base. The process is not just about implementing all the physics and maths equations, but about forming a complete world, where the aspects of life itself are implemented. This goal implies many philosophical considerations which are at least as important as actually coding the application.
It also opens the project to a group of people not usually concerned with software development, those interested in philosophy. People who study philosophy are invited to join the project, as well as coders, documentation writers, artists and translators. Financial contribution is also gratefully accepted since it allows us to spend more time on this project and to pay server hosting bills.
Apart from such contributions the most important contributors are the users themselves. Please do not hesitate to give us constructive feedback.
The First Universe
With the recent 0.5 release of the G System we have started our first virtual universe. Now it needs to be filled with users. If you want to give it a try, simply download the package and install the G System. This release features a graphical installer so everyone should be able to manage. If you encounter any problems do not hesitate to ask us on our mailing lists. If you encounter no problems you are still welcome to join the mailing lists as well of course.
To disspell a common mis-conception, currently you can only travel around and talk to each other in this virtual universe, not much else can happen yet. However, the framework is quite advanced and will allow for additional functionality.
As this 0.5 release is still a development release users are highly advised to subscribe to the users mailing list to get notifications about important changes, server downtimes and other information.
Team Coordinator Raphael has also set up his own blog which discusses design decisions and general development of the G System, among other things. You are welcome to add feedback, discuss further development and philosophical considerations through comments.
planned server downtime during this afternoon
Please note that there is planned maintenance work on my internet connection this (20th) afternoon at about 4 p.m. (CET). This means: G System website will be available (not my internet connection). My blog and the [email protected] master server will NOT be available.
I think it will only take about 2 hours, so everything should be fine and accessible later on.
By Raphael Langerhorst at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: planned server downtime during this afternoon
The server is available again, please note that it has a high latency, thus connecting with the guniverseclient might not always work.
We're working on providing a guniverse server on a faster internet connection. News about this will be posted on the http://www.g-system.at website.

Re: You are now in The Matrix! :)
There is more truth to this than you might know ;)
Reflecting reality is the ultimate goal of the G System.
And we know that this is not that easy and restrictions will always apply. Still, we've already spent many a thought on design considerations to make it possible to reach this goal as best as we can.
It is also important to note that we consider reality not just as a accumulation of mathematical equations and/or physical laws. But we want to go beyond, to embrace all aspects of life including emotional and mental levels (think of society as a whole, or your own inner life), or even spiritual aspects (to use this word carefully...).

Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
So can this program be used to proof once for all the ammount of holes in the evolutionist theory that shows the creationist theory to be much more believable?
By David Costa at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
The answer is, in short, yes and no.
The project will certainly help in dealing with this question (it is after all intended to fill such gaps of today's knowledge).
I personally(!!) think that there is truth and gaps in both of them - I don't know all about both theories though.
By Raphael Langerhorst at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
Just a note that there are other forums where this "great debate" can rage rather than here. However, unlike evolution which is a genuine scientific theory regardless of whether one buys into it or not, creationism and its pseudo-scientific offshoots are merely beliefs. As to whether the software concerned can validate beliefs is arguably also too philosophical for this particular forum. ;-)
By The Badger at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
> However, unlike evolution which is a genuine scientific theory
So you're implying that the evolution hypothesis is falsifiable (which is a prerequisite for a "genuine" scientific theory). How can you falsify an explanation for events that happened in the past, with no surviving observers?
Evolution is plausible to me, but can it be called a theory?
By cm at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
Oh, come on, you are getting silly. Evolution is clearly falsifiable. Here are a few ridiculous examples:
Suppose you found a dog's fossil in a cretaceous stratum. Or suppose you found a bird with an insect-like 4-wing arrangement. Or that DNA analysis showed gorillas are closely related to dung beetles.
By Roberto Alsina at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
So what? All these examples would prove is that a certain accepted development tree may have been wrong. It says nothing about whether the mechanisms of evolution have led to the development of the species in the past (which I said I find *plausible*). Evolution does not *predict* that birds with insect-like 4-wing arrangement don't (or didn't) exist thus finding one would not falsify it.
By cm at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
Well, what exactly is the statement you want to know is falsifiable?
The examples I gave would falsify the explanations evolution gave for the development of several lifeforms, making it less believable as a general explanation.
If you want to falsify evolution itself, it's pretty easy, too.
1. Get a big bottle
2. Get fruitflies
3. Breed them for a long time
4. Verify that there have been no mutations, or very few.
If you do this for a long enough time, that would mean the rate of mutation is too low to account for anything important, and evolution can't be the explanation for anything.
You see, evolution defined as random mutations selected by the environment makes a prediction: if you breed something that has a short lifespan, it will mutate fast. And that can be proven false. Thus it is falsifiable.
If that doesn't satisfy you, tell me exactly what you mean by "evolution".
By Roberto Alsina at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
I actually did that at school. We counted 2 out of 30 flies with too short wings. They didn't die though as they didn't need to flie to get foot in that bottle.
By Stephan Kulow at Tue, 2005/05/24 - 5:00am
Theories do not need to predict
at least not specific developments ... unless they are being tested in a controlled experimental setting.
Evolutionary theory has predicted adaptation and observed it in action in specific settings such as the Galapagos Finches (which have been under intense observation for decades) repeatedly. So even the growing proportion of Americans who believe the earth is only 6000 years old and that global warming is not happening, doesn't have to believe in dinosaurs or stretch their minds into frightening new territory in order to see evolution in action.
In laboratory settings it is fairly easy to demonstration adaptation but this isn't much use in demonstrating the robustness of the theory. If you have accessed this page from a Texas highschool where teaching evolution has been prohibited please exit this site immediately.

Evolution is a description of a process, it's not an account of history. You can simply falsify evolution by proving the process doesn't work as described in the theory.
By Erik Hensema at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
> Evolution is a description of a process,
And from your other post:
I think that's at the core of many misunderstandings, this one included. It's a semantic problem. But even Charles Darvin talked about the origin ("Origin of Species") so this has been there from the beginning (no pun intended). And there are many people who claim that the evolution theory allows you to answer the question of the origin of life (but that part is "just" a belief, just like the creationist idea. Not that having a belief were something bad in itself).
The same situation occurs with star formation calculation. You can have very nice models, and you can even still watch the formation at work in space. But all that nice scientific work cannot prove our sun's origin. It can make it *extremely* plausible though, just like evolution.

Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
I get tired of this argument there is no one who is alive today to say whether there were evolutions in the past . Any mutation would produce a in between species . Lets say a frog is in between becoming a bird the feathers would not help but hinder the animal from surviving . there is a case in point of frogs infested with a parasite that makes them have three legs etc well these are the ones consumed by hungry predators first .. the fact that they would be consumed by the stronger more developed species proves that natural selection theory everyone is so adament about. your flies dear sir would have been consumed by ants outside the bottle.if there is a instant change then why do we not find this evidence in the fossil records. Cause it just does not happen thats why .I mean come on if it happened then it would be happening know Species develop into different versions of the same species (how many finches are there )they are still finches not finch/dogs/fish. Ihave another question that has always bugged me if we came from apes why are they still apes .I mean to say that dinasaurs became birds then where are the dinasaurs. There are to many variables to convince me that GOD is not on his throne amused by how smart we all think we are . You cant go back in time to offer proof and i cant die and telephone you to describe God so we will always be at this standstill.

Although the process clearly does work.
See for example: http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/users/adrianth/ascot/paper/paper.html
And what is selective breeding if not evolution with a different selection criteria? Ie, pigs are selected for good meat etc, rather than survival in the wild.
By Tim at Sat, 2005/05/21 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
What, specifically, is not falsifiable? To which theories of evolution are you referring, and to which details of those theories are you referring? (E.g., which specific mechanisms and or products of certain theories of evolution not falsifiable?)
A point is that specific details within the topic of evolution are argued and modified.
By ac at Mon, 2005/05/23 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
What specifically is not falsifiable?
Put simply, in modern evolution theory:
1. Animals' bodies are built by their genes.
Those are fairly concrete, and taken as true; the following two aspects are educated theories based on the aforementioned ones:
4. If an animal has a gene that gives its body an advantage, that animal is more likely to survive and have children--children which will also have that gene.

the creationist theory is both believable and also ludacrist at the same time im not implying that god isn't real simply saying that do you actually think we were planted on earth to grow? the evolutionist theory is unbelievable stupid how do we evolve from cells to scaled fishes to another species of monkeys to ape then humans genaticaly speaking how in hell does your body go from an inviorment of water to trees i doubt with high hopes that i was an ape the evolutionist theory was simply suggested because someone had no idea were we came from we simply came from god Darrow scopes tried to force his idiot thoughts upon the slow people who thought that monkey and humans are related by DNA not likely.!!!!!!!!!
In the early years of anthropology, the prevailing view was that culture generally develops (or evolves) in a uniform and progressive manner.Dose not state that we can change forms simply any animal to another in the matter if the evolutionist theory is plauseable then what will we look like 300 years from now because of global warming will we be dragons since we are evolving (and i quote due to the theory of evolution)

Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
Let's not get confused about what is what here. I am a Christian.
The :law: of evolution is indisputable, but the :theory: is disputable.
If you believe that not all species are the same in DNA, and that an offspring produced through sexual reproduction is not exactly the same as its parents, then you believe in the :law:, but not necessarily the theory. The theory is simply an attempt to explain the law. Believing in the law does not mean you don't believe in creationism.
Creationism is not a theory, it is a belief. A theory must be falsifiable. Any objection to creationism is usually explained as "because God said so," making it unfalsifiable. If you believe that evolutionary theory is not falsifiable, then you do not believe that it is a scientific theory, and is therefore not a viable explanation to the law of evolution. The fact is that the theory of evolution is falsifiable; if you found a full human skeleton in an area believed to be from before they evolved, that would falsify the current theory.
If you found a better explanation for the law of evolution, it would replace the current one. If it involved creation, so be it.
So, when you try to discredit evolution, specify which one you are talking about: the law or the theory. The theory is honestly debatable. The law honestly isn't.
By Ian at Thu, 2009/01/15 - 6:00am

By Stephen Leaf at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
While your assertions on "faith" in science are flawed, let's just run with it for a second.
It takes a lot less "faith" to believe classical model of particle behavior than a quantum mechanical model. But most would agree that with the latter we've gotten closer to something that approximates reality.
And see, that's the real sticking point. I don't "believe" in evolution, it just sounds pretty plausible to me. It needn't be perfect, in the same way that Newtonian mechanics were in fact "wrong" in a sense -- it just needs to be something that seems to fit with the observed information and moves towards understanding. It also lends a bit of credibility if it doesn't just happen, though a set of a priori assumptions, to confirma belief that we started out with.
By But... at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
As others have pointed out, science is faithless in all senses of the word. People "believe" evolution only because it is the only credible scientific theory. The second something more credible comes by, scientists will abandon evolution like rats from a sinking ship.
The reason they haven't? No credible scientific alternative theory at all, let alone a MORE credible theory.
That said faith and science are as incompatible as fish and cauliflower. The fact that they are totally unrelated doesn't mean they're mutually exclusive. You can "believe" both and not have any conflicts.
"I believe...", when used regarding matters of faith, is just a polite way of saying "I know..."
"I believe...", when used regarding matters of science, is just a concise way of saying "I'll never know, but the available evidence and scientific research indicates..."
It's just two ways of looking at the world. Science assumes we start out knowing nothing, and that we are only more and more closely approximating truth without actually ever knowing it. Faith assumes you can jump straight to the truth by reading a book.

By Robert at Fri, 2005/05/20 - 5:00am
Re: Creationist vs Evolutionist theory
There are to main streams in creationism. Both start off with an intelligent creator who creates life on earth.
What happens next is the really interesing part. With a given population of life on earth, how does life develop? Does the development follow the rules of the evolution theory or are there only minor variations in life while no new species at all develop?
The first version of creationism doesn't conflict with evolution. And evolution doesn't conflict with creationism either. Note that evolution deals with the development of life, not the origin of life.
The second version of creationism is the version proposed by religious fanatics. Luckily this version can easily be proven wrong, and it indeed has been proven wrong on many occasions. This fundamentalist form of creationism therefore is just a belief.
However, the G System is a designed world, just like the creationists world. So to answer your question: yes, the G System can be used by fanatics to misinterpret data in order to support their beliefs.
The G System will have laws, just like the real world. One of these real life world laws is the law of evolution. We can see it happening around us, we know it's there. We can try to describe this law in a theory, which we did: the theory of evolution.
The G System can also implement a law of evolution. Or it can implement more fundamental laws which imply evolution (which of course also holds true in the real world). Then somebody not knowledgable of the design laws of the G System can start observing the simulated world and try to formulate theories on these observations. It's quite unlikely anybody will be able to unravel the G System simply by observing it for a short period of time. So it's quite likely the theories on the inner workings of the system will be wrong. The observer may formulate a theory on evolution in the G System, which may or may not be the exact law of evolution as coded into the G System.
And of course the theory of evolution in the real world is unlikely to be the same as the law of evolution. But that doensn't change the fact there *is* a law of evolution.
So in answer to your question: the G Sytem is unlikely to prove anything in the real world, but it may provide an insight in the development of religious beliefs and scientific theories.

Lack of knowledge is one thing , why can't they open up their mind and observe the changing of species and geographical factors which we often encounters like one presented by the national geographic society ? By BELIEVING that this world is created less than 9000 years or 9 millions still doesn't justify and convince world communities on such topics . i for one will never teach my children that this world is created, because i find this is very dangerous as small child may not be able to differenttiate between fantasy & fact .So please a word of advise to the Creationist out there if you havent got much to prove on your subject please keep them to yourself or your own inner circle of followers. be more more responsible as the law of the world state that 'You are free to believe or do what you like as long as you don't disturb others ' applies.
I can bet with the creationist sooner or later your follower will decrease and in the end can't survive by late 21st century.

Re: Oh my god...
If such things happen it is likely that the libraries are not found, you should have the path where you installed the G System (the lib subdir) in /etc/ld.so.conf or set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the G System lib path.
Example. G System installed in /home/joe/local, then the libs will be installed in /home/joe/local/lib, so you either add /home/joe/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig or export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/joe/local/lib and run god (or any other G System binary) from that shell. Option one is of course recommended, as it permanently solves this issue.
It is planned that the installer checks if the libraries are accessible, but this is not yet implemented. Meanwhile you have to make sure the libs are found yourself.
Good luck!

ldconfig: /usr/kde/3.3/lib/libGWE.so.0 is not a symbolic link
But when I run
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/kde/3.3/lib god
it's fine. However, the additional pad appears in my /etc/ld.so.conf (because it's just my KDE dir).

Psst, Navindra, pssssst!
(This is a conspiracy, don't you know? It's aim is to make all G-Lovers believe it is a G-Program. So they'll all join a stampede to install it. Then the auto-dependency resolving algorithms of the Gent-uh, the Ooboontoo, the RoodHoot and the other distros will, behind their backs, auto-install the Q-Toolkit and the K-Libraries. [OK, some losses we'll have to take -- there are broken distros where this will not work, but well....]. After a bit of using it, the G-Lovers will start to love G-System and will gradually move over to become K-Lover. -- So don't make the guardians of the G-Realm aware of The Grand Plan before it worked out by plastering your careless comments to the K-Dot!)

Krabat – a dance performance for which its creators have revived the theme of an old Wendish legend dating from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries: the famous story of a boy who on the threshold of adulthood comes to know black magic and is fascinated by it until he realises that it can kill him. It depicts the danger of encountering mysterious powers that can allure and infatuate. The hero arrives at the conclusion that only love is able to overwhelm even the darkest magic.
The performance is intended for audiences of all age categories.
