This rug is made from the Tarnation Rectangle Rug pattern, which is now up on Ravelry (and here) as a free download. Two of the t-shirts had all-over printed fabric, and this gives the rug some added interest in the way it turned out. However, it took a special technique for cutting the tarn so it would curl with the print side out, which is more time-consuming than regular tarn-cutting. It looks so good, I think it was worth the extra effort. Here's how to do it.

That looks really cool :) Excellent name too, it fits perfectly
