If you're looking for something new to crochet with, cut up your plastic shopping bags, tie them together and roll them into a ball to create a never-ending strand of plastic (figure A). Marlo Cairns explains how to put this plastic fiber together into a crochetable form, then shows how simple it is to crochet with it. It's a great material that can be used to make just about any type of crochet (or knit) project (figure B).
Materials:plastic shopping bags
scissors 1. Roll the plastic shopping bags lengthwise. 2. Make a cut every 1". 3. Tie pieces of plastic together. 4. Roll "yarn" into a ball.
