i made this

out of some of these


if you are thinking, she made a plastic bag out of plastic bags, you’re right. and now – i’m quite sure my footprint is like one size smaller.
when i first started on it and bh didn’t know exactly what i was doing he looked at my work in progress

and worried that it would be awful itchy and very impractical.
if you want to know how to make plarn go here. and the pattern i used? this won’t be all that helpful, but i googled hobo bag knitting patterns and then just kind of winged it.

I’m with Carrie, I thought it was a bikini top too…you would HAVE to wear sunscreen if you wore that top!!
oh, there would be several other things i would have to tend to before i even got to that bikini top!!
