on the rag

can i please just say how much i fucking hate plarn? i'm trying so hard to create something with it but its ugly...i'm going to keep going and try to finish this bag i'm making, but from now on i reckon i'll be crocheting rags like recycled t-shirts rather than plastic bags.

and besides it being butt-ugly it's really hard on my hands! i can just feel the RSI descending...

i've been really inspired...

i do have to say that someone i met at the royal festival hall last week has really got me thinking and i wish that i had her details...fingers crossed that our paths cross again because i'd really like to let her know.

she was knitting a shopping bag out of strips of plastic carrier bags! so ever since i've started a bag to put nice bags in to use in the future...i'm thinking of maybe crocheting wierd nic-nacs out of the stuff!
