I can crochet.
But only in straight lines.
Which is to say that I can make blankets and scarves that are either square or rectangular. And that is all.
I cannot make hats, shirts, sweaters, mittens, or even blocks.
I don't know how.
And I've tried, believe you me. I have tried so hard to understand how to.
I've bought crocheting books, watched videos on youtube.
I'm hopeless.
And truthfully, a little resentful that other chics can do all of these "girly" things like cooking, gardening and crocheting and I struggle.
Poor poor me.
:P
Anyway, I can crochet some so I guess that is something. But I would very much like to learn how to make something like this:
Yeah, sure it just looks like a crocheted purse right?
Except it isn't made from yarn people, it's made from Plarn. Plarn is made from plastic grocery bags. Observe:
And you can use plarn similarly to how you use yarn to crochet things.
The genius behind this is My Recycled Bags. She can apparently make yarn out of just about anything...
And you know what? *I* think that is pretty effing bad-ass.
Tux? What do you think?
Do you know about something bad ass and recycled? Shoot me an email, link's on the right.
