Toothbrush rugs tutorial: The easiest way to start a rug!

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.Hilde my papillon always wants to be involved with the rugs I make, even the starts, so she provides comic relief!
