I don't know how many people on here knit, but my friend knitted me a blanket out of plastic bags. It's one of the coolest things I own. Just a little scratchy, but I slept outside last night and it kept me really warm. I think she used roughly 3-4 hunderd bags to make a pretty big blanket, plus a lot of time....I think it'd be worth it to try and make one if you can. Or get someone who can knit to make one.
yeah they are certainly awesome. My girlfriend crochets them into library type bags. They are pretty heavy duty.
definitely trying that. if i stuffed the bags with paper that'd add another layer insulation too, i could go crazy with this idea thank you
My sister tried teaching me how to do this. Seemed pretty simple, cut the bag into 1 inch strips, knot them together and knit away. Downfall was that I cant knit to save my life.
once i had a friend. then, they did stuff and once they did that shit, i felt like i should tell everyone else. get it together, no one cares what your fucking friend did for you, this is a how to do, and by do, its diy for instance, you wanna read about how my friend made me a duct tape sheath? no. ya wanna learn how to do it. do yourselves a favore, mix 3 parts gas with 1 part styraphome, add 1/4 oz of solidox and drop that shit right on yer floor
here's a good tutorial: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2010/how-tuesday-how-to-make-plarn-crochet-an-eco-friendly-tote-b/ I'm going to do this. um...sometime.

Lovely...anywho. I posted this because she knits with plastic. I'm not too good with it and just somehow knots itself up like crazy. I did one in VHS tape though...Works the same. And NeoMaxxAKI I will add pictures of it as soon as I get a new camera cord.
I know a girl with one arm who made a cover for a bean bag crocheting plastic bags together.. Supa sweet..She gave it to me but my old room mates catnpossed all over it
