Here is a glitchy cell phone photo of the rug I am crocheting! Of course I can't help but put it into use before it is finished. It's so fun to step on!
It's made out of old t-shirts cut in such a way as to turn them into "yarn." There are lots of tutorials available if you want to do it yourself. Here's one that looks pretty clear: http://www.spiritedshannon.com/2011/08/t-shirt-yarn-tutorial.html
The cool thing is, it is SO FAST! The yarn is big and bulky, so I managed to make what is shown above in only a couple evenings of sitting around. Also, it's a great way to recycle old t-shirts that are too junky to even give to Goodwill.
Extra Maddie hint: If you bleach a black shirt, you can get that lovely rust color that makes a spiral in the middle of the rug above!
