Here is my latest little recycled bag project. It's a Hobo plarn purse crocheted with recycled brown Safeway bags. I used a K crochet hook to work this purse so it's a little smaller than the original Hobo purse pattern. I did one extra row before doing the top narrowing final rounds. Finished size is 9 inches wide by 7-1/2 inches long.

It has been awhile since I shared a new pattern out of plastic bags or plarn as many know the material made from cut-up plastic bags. So here is a project I crocheted with plarn and wrote up the free pattern. It is a basket tray I made to hold kitchen dishcloths and other items for an upcoming charity fundraiser. I like this short tray type basket as it can be reused for folded napkins, toiletries, or other things around the house. Here is the recycled plastic basket pattern. Basket measures 8-3/4 inches long, 4 inches tall, 3-3/4 inch wide ends and with 5-3/4 inch handles.

My name is Isabelle Garbani, and I am an artist who was selected for this year's Farm/Art Dtour in Wisconsin with my proposal Invasive Species. I am calling all crochet artists to help me crochet artwork for the installation! In Invasive Species over 5000 kudzu vine leaves, crocheted from plastic shopping bags, engulf an abandoned farmhouse. The plastic leaves will climb and cling to the house, slowly "choking" it with their invasive growth. I decided to issue a Crochet Challenge in order to make all the crochet leaves I need. In this crochet contest, everyone can participate and win prizes for making leaves from recycled plastic bags (from artwork to cookies!). The tutorials on the leaf pattern and the list of all the prizes can be found at www.crochetchallenge.com Visit www.crochetchallenge.com to enter the contest!
