Just recently I started cutting a mess of T shirts up for a rug. I cut off the neck, sleeves and hem, then then cut round and round in about 1 inch rows till I had almost all of each one wound up in a ball. Then I crocheted them into a long chain and wound them around and around, sewing as I went. This will be for in a small space where the cats love to lie but it's still in a walkway.[/quote]
I can't remember where I saw it (probably here), but a quick way to cut tees into strips is to cut straight across at the armhole to get rid of the sleeves and neck area, leaving you with the body as a tube. Take the resulting tube and rotary cut it into strips the width you want, but not all the way across. Leave an inch or two still joined at one folded edge. Then start at one end and cut diagonally across to the next row and repeat until you reach the bottom. When you tug on the knit strip it will curl, and you won't notice the little angled section.
