I started this project in our car trip back to Chicago from D.C., but ran out of daylight to complete this bag, so this is Part I of the plarn bag saga.
Reclaimed Material: plarn
Other/New Material: none
Tools: chopsticks
How I did it: Since this was my first plarn knitting project I didn't want to make anything too big, so I decided on a small bag for Zoe. I started a regular knit with the plarn. I got about halfway done with the body of the bag before I lost my light. I was kind of relieved because we were pretty pooped from our trip.
What I would do differently: Like with the Mylar project, using real knitting needles.
My 2012 resolution is to create a recycled craft everyday from discarded items. I am sure some crafts will turn out great...and others not so much, but I will admit those. I hope these experiments inspire people to create things from items they would usually throw away. This is not necessarily and instructional blog, but a journal of my creative journey, but I hope this sparks ideas for creative upcycling for you. If any instructions are needed, just ask.
