When I produce the free pattern, I'll get a real gauge, but it's so variable for tarn--the weight of the fabric makes a big difference, printed sections, how wide it's cut, and of course, the hook.Amanda Steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852217172174255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909962350069575355.post-4240609757333973272011-06-16T21:56:48.207-07:002011-06-16T21:56:48.207-07:00what a brilliant idea and a good use of old clothe...what a brilliant idea and a good use of old clothes.

It looks really cool against a black background. I think it would make an awesome rug.<br /><br />Here's a pic of my little tarn rug with some black that has the print showing: <br />http://www.ravelry.com/projects/pentalia/little-t-shirt-rugAmanda Steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852217172174255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909962350069575355.post-44590833981396243112011-06-16T10:11:06.322-07:002011-06-16T10:11:06.322-07:00I just realized that if I did this, I'd have a...I just realized that if I did this, I'd have a black rug :( as the only T-shirts are DH's ...Viviannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478973141660495485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909962350069575355.post-27125891184931121332011-06-15T14:34:21.370-07:002011-06-15T14:34:21.370-07:00I cut some t shirts into yarn.
