Plarn

More camera flotsum. . .
Ever work with Plarn?
No?
Well let me just tell you that it's kind of cool stuff. You take your shopping bags, you cut them up into 1" strips, hook the strips together into a long yarn like rope. Roll into a ball and then crochet as desired. And it's free!!! Can't beat that with a stick now can you?

It's ok. It has no give whatsoever, no elasticity. They do make pretty cool little throw rugs, bags or whathaveyou. I've made one rug for a friend and that was it. I don't crochet much.

Now that is bitchn'. Really. Whodathunkit. I wonder if you could make a beanie out of that? Probably wouldn't be very warm. But it would look cool anyways.
