Cabled I-cord (Kind of)

unikatissima Cabled I-cord (Kind of)

I’ve seen everywhere the beautiful cabled bags and thought that a filled I-cord isn’t so suitable. And then two ideas collided in my head again, this time the I-cord and cabling ;-)

The result is a kind of I-cord which is cabled on both sides but is made with only two needles (plus an auxiliary needle for the cabling).

I created a PDF file (ca. 400 KB) with a photo tutorial that you can download.

Have much fun with it!

Whether you find the picture beautiful is a matter of taste (she made others that I find more beautiful), but the instruction surely is helpful if you have similar ideas.

Isn’t this birch scarf cute?
Because she wants to sell those items there’s of course no instruction and I wouldn’t be able to finish it anyhow, but I like to look at it ;-)

Have you already used up all forks as photoholders and remain only spoons?
Then make little pieces of jewelry from them ;-))

Plarn and Plastic Lids Shopping Bag

Links of entry

Recently I made the paper shopping bag for the ‘Craft Challenge #47 – Reusable Shopping Bag Challenge 2′ and one of the other (really great!) entries was the plarn and plastic lids shopping bag.
The idea is at first sight not so different from that of the plastic bag tote (there you can also find a link on how to make plarn (= plastic yarn)), the special thing is the bottom which she made from big round plastic lids and which gives the bag a sturdy bottom.
She attached the bottom like I did with my beverage carton crochet.

A great bag!
