Crocheted Rug

I have been working on all sorts of things lately and am trying to finish up works in progress. This rug I started last year and has been taunting me every time I happen upon it. I am using tarn I made from my husbands old tee-shirts and Cascades Tangier's yarn. I am using an H hook and going into a continuous spiral of single crochets around the tarn and adding a 2 sc into the same stitch every now and then to keep it flat. If it gets too ruffled  I l know that I added too many 2sc in the same stitch. I guess I am winging it. This looks great with cotton yarn too. I am using the Tangier's this time because it goes with the rustic thing ingot going on in my living room.

I will keep pictures posted of my progress to hopefully keep me on task!

Tie-Dyed Tarn Pot Holders

My husbands old tee-shirts were all white which makes a very boring ball of tarn.  I decided to infuse them in a rainbow of colors using a Tulip tie- dye kit. It was super easy I layed out my tarn in long skeins on top if plastic and squirt the colors in yellow, red, blue pattern. Once soaked I covered with plastic for several hours. I rinsed until it ran clear then dried. Tadaa! Beautiful rainbow skeins!
