Thus began my tangent.

I wanted to take my children to NY. But we were a one income family, SOooo, I decided to see if my rugs would sell in a Local Craft Store.

At night, after the kids were tucked in and the husband off to his night job, I sat on the bed and crocheted those recycled tee shirts into rugs. It took me only about 4-6 hours per rug, so I could finish one in 2 nights.

When I had about a dozen finished I hauled them down town with kids in tow.

All but a few smaller one were accepted on consignment!

I was so excited! This particular avenue did manage to sell some for me but their markup was dizzying! So I also did a couple of craft shows and that was terrificly successful.

I added the needed dollars to the Trip Fund.

I have figured out a way to easily cut the "retired" shirts into ONE CONTINUOUS STRING...

I want to share THAT information with you as well as...

1)Ways to judge the desired width of your strips.

2)Unique ideas for creating what YOU want.

3)Design ideas and tips.

4)Practical advice for beginners AND novices.

5)Thing to watch out for as you create.
