I'm having a "finishing things off day" today and here are 2 more things I've finished.

The first is a filler square for a CAL I'm doing on Ravelry.

The second ones are of a bag I've crocheted made of cut up plastic carrier bags.

The bags look interesting. How do you cut the plastic bags? Could you knit them too?

Was it hard to work with the plastic bags?

The filler square looks good, did it take long?

I love those sort of days!!! I had one on Thursday and it's amazing what you can accomplish! I think I'll do the same again today!

Thanks, it was a very satisfying day !

The filler square looks good, did it take long?

It probably took me 3 or 4 evenings, doing about an hour or so an evening.

Was it hard to work with the plastic bags?

I didn't find it too difficult although some bags were easier to work with than others. The cheaper/thinner bags were much easier to use than the thicker types.

The bags look interesting. How do you cut the plastic bags? Could you knit them too?

To cut the bags you cut off the handles and start at the top and work round making a continous strip of plastic. There are quite a lot of places on the web that show you how to do it much better than I can explain! The finished fabric is called "plarn".
Yes you can knit it too as it is just like working with yarn.

They're very nice - and environmentally friendly too

They are lovely.
