OOO I'm making gardening pads to kneel on while working in the garder this year.

That sounds like a great idea!

Oh! It's so cool!
I've wanted to try knitting with plastic bags for ages, but I haven't gotten to that part of my "must craft" list. I think it's moving up on the list though...

What a fabulous way to recycle! And it's probably super strong. I'd love more info on how you "spun" the yarn... and how wide you cut the strips. Nice use of color, too.

Thanks, y'all!

I gathered a bunch of my plastic bags (Lobo even mailed me some of the yellow ones!). I washed & dried them. Then I rolled them up, cut off the top (handles) and bottom, and then cut the rest of the bag into about 1-inch wide strips. These strips are actually wide rings, since they are cut from the middle part of the bag. I then looped each of these rings together and balled up the "yarn" as I went.

The bag is rather strong, and washable, too.

fasinating : ).
