[Nfb-krafters-korner] tee shirt yarn

[Susan Roe]

Odly enough, I have not done this with t-shirt material but with plastic 
bags and I have crochetted those strips together for floor matts.  Doing 
this with t-shirts sounds like a wonderful idea.  I can just hear my husband 
now, "oh my God, she's gone from yarn to knitting t-shirts!"
