What a great idea! I always hate it when my hubby or I have a favorite tee shirt and get a couple of stains/spots on the front. I keep some for yard work. Now I know what to do with the rest of them! I already know how to crochet :)

Nancy, I've seen this before and I've tried it too! The only problem is if you make it thick, it uses up quickly.

Yes, a great recycling experiment! I always have old ones around, no more garbage can when they get stained!

This is a great idea! I love the bag too. Usually, I just throw our old tee shirts in the rag bag. This is a much better idea.

How about a knitted rag rug? Like the trivet/potholder but much larger? Yes, I think so..for the kitchen in front of the sink.

I did a crochet rug with tarn and worked out well. Washes nice too. The only problem is have is the time it takes to cut it up. But it is worth it.
