Useful Timewasting



I suddenly realised, at about 1am, that my life was missing crochet. More specifically a crochet picnic rug made from plastic bags. Having never crocheted in my life before, I founded this video to show me how, this tutorial to make the plastic bag yarn and I fashion a crochet hook from a broken wooden spoon. I was very tired in the morning. But content.

I'm thinking around ideas to make a surface to eat picnics on for the next Friends of Arnold Circus annual Sharing Picnic. Crochet looks like it would be too laborious. I think I'll try weaving plastic bags next.

good day

i´m in the midst of working, but since my computer is right here I´ll talk a little with you -

Are you aware that Noak was over to your place visiting with Ruben yesterday morning?

We were in the bathtub imagining... Noak packed his little bag. he took the subway to centralstation in Stocckholm and the bus from there to the airport. He managed doing all the steps there and eventually he came to London. The three of you took the bus together to your home and Noak and Ruben played.

It is fun to fantisy together with Noak!

Love to you and Ruben - and how great that the missing piece to your life has been found!! I love round crochet-rugs!

nice colours ! I wish that ladies who do this here had something else than awful black plastic bags to recycle...the ones that are everywhere in here ...( but it would mean more plastic bags flying in the environment, even if more colourful ...)
