This is the first thing I crocheted with plarn. What is plarn? It's recycled plastic bags or other plastics that can be cut up and used to make a type of yarn, known as plarn. All I can say about this is, it is very time consuming if you try to cut up each bag individually. I decided to expedite it by laying several t-bags flat and then cutting them at the same time on a cutting board using a circular cutter. It was soooooooo much faster and easier. This ended up being a gift to a friend of mine that managed our local public swimming pool. She said it was great for wet bathing suits.
