Today I want to talk about what I have been recycling.
I just started spinning plastic bags. IF you recall, I did a project for a coaster with the plastic bag strips directly from cutting the bags up. Now I am not only recycling them into yarn, but practicing my spinning at the same time.
The pan from Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner had a wire handle rig wrapped around the outside. Since the pan had a hole in it, I decided to rip the wire handle rig off the foil pan and use it as a niddy noddy. Works okay, even though the yarn slips off if you do it the wrong way.
I read something about a woman who takes old newspapers and spins them into yarn. Pretty cool, except that I have not quite figured out how she does it. I get these slippery sales papers here all the time. How neat would it be to transform the weekly sales papers into a purposeful project?
Work With Me Wednesday will be resuming after the New Year. I am taking this time off to spend with my family and get some skills honed fiber wise.
