Anyone Tried Knitting With Plarn?

[albaqwerty]

if so, what did you think?

(plarn = plastic yarn made by recycling plastic bags)

What a load of hassle was my opinion :-))

Originally my idea was to make plastic re-usable pad for kneeling/sitting for the fisherfolk in my life, I needed loads of plastic bags to just make one and I refuse to go to the shop just to buy more plastic bags to finish the project :-D

Lol I am currently trying to knit with recycled tshirts - oh my its hard going

drat! that's on my to do list after I've finished the jumper for the younger alba :-))
On the plus side, there's probably better 'give' with the plastic than the cotton.
Keep telling yourself it'll be worth it (I told myself that eventually through gritted teeth lol)

Well I am only using it to knit up baskets and am not an accomplished knitter so I don't know if that makes a difference?
