“Plarn” Rug – Part 1

Here’s an interesting “safer at home” project: I’m going to try and make a small area rug out of used plastic grocery bags.  To do this I’m going to make what they call plarn out of the grocery bags which is another way of saying ” plastic grocery bag yarn” and then crochet it into a circle. Neat way to use and recycle grocery bags at pretty much no cost.

I’m going to be following the directions at this website for crocheting the rug.

First I need to make some plarn. I’m using the directions at this site to get started.

I think my rug will be red as I’m using Piggly Wiggly bags. This sounds very Edgertonian don’t you think? I’ll post pictures as  I go, and I hope some of you will try making a plarn rug as well!
