PLARN.

[iloveSE7EN]

.....wow. plarn is crazy. I might have to start a project. :O

[BabyOrcaLover]

That is so cool, I've read instructions on how to make plarn, but I couldn't get a mental image of it . . . seeing this video made it so much easier to understand. I'm going to give that a try in the morning now! Thank you so much! Make myself some plarn and turn it into a reusable shopping bag. We get so many of them from places like Walmart, why not!

I have been going crazy about 2 things: how to turn my crochet hobby into money without having to buy expensive yarn, and what to do with all the plastic bags in the house! Now I know! Makes me rethink BYOB just so that I can get more bags to turn into plarn...thanks for the tutorial! very helpful! ^_^

Probably not a good thing for me to try making yet, seeing as a I learned to crochet a week ago. But it's on my list now! :D

thats so cool!...I'm actually going to try this to make a reusable gr0cery bag for my mom! thats so awsome.....she'll love it!

[1zacster]

Well shit might as well have been called hey dumb asses who cant roll up a bag lol

[purlsndrops]

Excellently done and to the point! It shows you exactly what you want to know without any long, drawn out chit chat or explanations!

Sign in back ground is very clever.

[brokenbrush]

That's Cool But You should be a sign artist That sign in the back ground shows flair. That's a joke my DAD used to tell me when i did all my art with "Flair colored markers" when i was a little kid. I was about 6 years old when The fine point marker world became more than Black, RED,BULE, GREEN, I thought I was in heaven. I could make the jump from Crayons into the wonderful world of BOLD BRIGHT MARKERS Nice sign.

Thanks!!

I love Jim's Big Ego!! Great music choice and neat craft/recycling idea. What are you making with your plarn? It would have been cool to see some FO's at the end!

[ataaah]

saw a nice plarn crocheted hat at the East Bay Transfer Station kids' education program.  It's a cool idea.

plaaaaaarrrrrn =3

[lovefreevideos]

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful to me to see how it's done.

[CreamyScreamer]

Ok.. I'm making me a bag out of bags!

[Ruth42]

What size (gauge) crochet hook do you use? I want to try this but I only have a 5.0mm hook. Can I assume that would work?

[bowenjames123]

good , clear video. thankyou for sharing.

[raincrow88]

Wow that is the coolest thing.

[earthtochelsie]

What is the name of the song you're listening to in this video?

[aephemera]

icaj19, try and fold the bag so it's straight and cut straight across... good luck!

shoeshinecs, thanks!

[aephemera]

PEEPS, you want to try and make the knots kind of tight, so they're not very lumpy. the whole thing is going to have a texture to it, so don't worry too much about it, though.

[shoeshinecs]

This is great! I wish I would have seen this before I started making plarn.

[PEEPSaPLENTY]

i working on one right now and i'm stuck i got this thing out of a magizen and there chochet knots are so big i don't get how to do that is it the size of the crhochet tool or the size of the bags?

[icaj19]

ok so everytime i try cutting the strips they never go straight. is it the way i am folding the bag or something?

xx

[aephemera]

Make sure when you're looping that you're making sure that it's nice and even. If you're crocheting and you get to a place where there's a loop that's uneven, you can un-knot it and re-do it so that it's not bunchy. Good luck!

[craftiewitch]

when i went to make my plarn an crochet, it seemed that the 2 ply would stretch on 1 side an i get loops an extra, driving me nuts any suggestions?

[doglvr123]

great tutorial! I've been wanting to learn how to make plarn :D
