Finish VI....final one for the Second Quarter!!!!

Yep, I can't believe it but I am done with all my WIPs  listed for this quarter of  Finish Along 2014!!!

First day of Summer and longest day of the year was quite dreary and cool (64F/17.8C) so I knew having a project on my lap wouldn't be sweat inducing!  While hubby painted windows and the boy worked on the final project for his class I crocheted!

 Now most of this basket of tee shirt "yarn" is....

 ...a 27x38 kitchen mat!!  I used a total of 26 tees and a lot of muscles to make it!

 I learned a few things:

~ Not all tees work as nicely.  Some are actually crunchy!

~ Seamless tees are the best but if I waited to have enough of those I'd still be waiting.

~ Take breaks....I didn't and now my hands are yapping at me.

~ Don't work over a freshly vacuumed rug.

~ Don't sweat the wonkiness!!:) 

~ I don't have a clue how to tie off the end.
~ I don't need my glasses with the huge yarn and hook!

After about the 7th tee I started figuring it out but I wasn't about to undo what I had finished.

Now I'm making trivets out of the brighter tees.

I still don't know how to tie off!!!
