Practice makes perfect so I thought I would try my hand at another crochet rug. This time I'm making my yarn out of old t-shirts. I cut them into half inch strips and stretched them, tied them end to end, and rolled them in a ball so it would be easier to handle when crocheting. I managed to get four lines done with the amount to t-shirt yarn I was able to make from the old t-shirts on hand. Needless-to-say, I'm on the hunt for super duper cheap thrift store or even free t-shirts so I can finish this project. Here are pics of what it currently looks like. I'll post more when it's completed.
I have posted so many pics and comments about our home that it was suggested to me that I should start a blog. So I did. I believe in making due with what I have but on occasion there is a need to buy a few things to complete a project, such as paint and hardware if I don't have the right kind on hand. I hope you enjoy what you see on this blog and thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say. :-)

Second attempt at a crochet rug
