RE: Craft: Crocheted Plarn Rug
Plarn is very easy to make and use...one of the best sites I've found to show you to make it using clear instructions is owned by a young woman named Rachel...her site address is: http://www.crochetspot.com/
She is very helpful too if there is something you don't understand. She has pictures that take you step by step..Hope this helps and happy plarning..Lavenda

The abbreviation "sm" means same. Another words crochet in the same stitch again. Sorry but that must have gotten dropped from my abbreviation list. I have added it now. Thanks for catching that.

Cindy,
I have crocheted with recycled plastic bags before, but love your rug idea. I don't know what your abbreviation " sm" means in Rnd 2.
Ch 2, Hdc in sm st, and you don't have it listed in your abbreviations. Thank you for your pattern and your response to me.

These really are very handy. My grandmother used to have them. I don't think she actually made them -- I think a friend made them. They are also warm on the feet , so great to put in places like an uninsulated porch or cement garage floor, so you can take your outside footwear off, and not freeze your toes.

RE: Craft: Making Plarn
I have a picture tutorial here http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/ ... bags-creating-recycled-plastic-yarn/ on how to cut the plastic bags to create plarn. I use the loop method. Another tip is to cut your bags on a paper cutter as it really speeds up the prep time for creating the yarn to make these recycled projects.

This is hilarious. We had this stuff all over our house when I was growing up. My mom even made one of those floppy wide brim sun hats like they used to wear in the 70's out of bread wrappers. She wore it in our boat while we were water skiing and it flew off, unfortunately it weighed like 6 pounds and sunk to the bottom before we could get the boat turned around to try to get it. I wasn't sad to see it go.

there are you tube videos & other video sites probably have the how-to for cutting plarn !
After I watched a vid, cutting my bags down to roll up to crochet was a breeze !
