I need to have Matt video tape the cutting part for me. I should make that happen this weekend. It is pretty clever how the shirt is cut so you end up with one big ball of tarn (t-shirt yarn). I learned it from a friend. My real secret though is to crochet the tarn instead of braiding it. Braided rugs are much more work/time and unless done by a skilled hand are less sturdy and durable (since the braid are then laced/sewn together). By crocheting the tarn it is a single sturdy unit. I've done slip-stitched rugs, double crochets rugs, and single crochets rugs for different looks. Of course, that is also about the extend of my crochet abilities. I will finish that post soon and come back and link it up for you.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-15904240680087096442019-02-06T15:52:33.903-07:002019-02-06T15:52:33.903-07:00I did NOT know that!
