Something Old Now Something New

This is a rug i crocheted using old t shirts."How did you do that ?" you ask. I cut each t shirt by hand, This is a very time consuming process. I start with t shirts that have no seams. First I cut out the t shirts mid sections. Then working in a spiral, i cut around the t shirt in a continuous strip about as wide as my thumb. After all the cutting is done, i stretch it until it rolls up on itself creating a "yarn" I use cotton t shirts as this works best. I then crocheted the rug. I don't join with knots. I just add a new piece by crocheting over the last couple of inches of the previous one (makes it a little thicker this way too).
