Knitting And Crocheting With Plastic Grocery Bags.
Two or three times I year, I go crazy for crochet. Nothing can soothe my addled mind like getting a big ball of yarn and making something fun. It’s a hobby I took up as a child, and it’s stuck with me through the years. I was surfing the net a few weeks ago looking for ideas for a new crochet project, and I found tons of links from folks using old plastic grocery bags as a new kind of yarn! I’ve started cutting my own bag collection, and it’s proving to be sturdy, easily workable material.
I’ve collected a few links for you crafty greenies to take see for yourself. Happy crafting!
- Paula Chavis at Needlepointers has a few fun ideas for seasonal-themed projects and others for household decorations.
- Michelle Ryan at NezumiWorld recommends a few tips for how to cut the bags to make them into the most workable yarn.
- Jeanne at DreamingPrinter has a pattern for plastic bag hats.
And finally, I found this video with some hints for how to get started! Enjoy!
