Ho-la! There is a great blog out there - called Woolly Wormhead (woollywormhead.blogspot.com) and she has some great ideas, including making crocheted spirals and sticking them together to make hats, bags, etc. I am also going to try her "turning plastic bags into yarn" idea, and might even take it one step further, like my friend Kim - she tried spinning black garbage bags. I think I will try to do grocery bags (seems less sticky), and then once they are spun, turn 'em into something (like a netted grocery bag! Arrr....there's Recycle, Reduce, Reuse for ya!)

Anyway - once I get the current project off my spinning wheel, I'll try this and post the results somewheres. (Sorry this got into Spinning and not just crocheting...I'll try to stay on topic better in the future!) :-)

But good luck! :-D
