I have a lot of plastic bag's that I have been saving up to attempt plarn crafts and just never seem to get around to doing so. I was wondering if anyone in here could use them. I'll send them to you.

Yuppers. People take plastic bags and cut them in strips and knit with them. I have seen bags, bracelets, hats. I had been wanting to try it out and was saving up the grocery bags but I just don't have the time right now and they are taking up space.

I've been crocheting myself a "kneeling mat" for gardening with my plarn. It will just be two simple granny squares with an old towel inside that I can kneel on for weeding. The plarn seems to be soft enough to kneel on.

If it turns out not to be...I'll use them as mats in my lawn chairs. LOL


I cut the plarn while I watch TV and toss the cut pieces into a huge plastic jar I saved. When it's full, I assemble the plarn and roll it into a ball---also while watching TV. That way, doesn't take away from anything else that needs doing.
