I participated in the 2007 Maker Faire in Austin, TX.
The editors of MAKE and CRAFT magazines selected some of their favorite projects and I was awarded a blue ribbon.
Here is a video of my workshop at the Maker Faire. I just found it on YouTube!
My project was about crocheting plastic bags to make plastic bag koosies with handles. You know...those things that you put your beer (or any canned beverage) in to keep it nice and cold.
Here are some photos of my booth:
The event was great fun and lots of people came out to give it a try.

An innovative way to recycle through crochet.
About Me
I'm Cristen and I like to crochet.
I recently started crocheting items from plastic bags. I hope that community pressure worldwide will encourage companies and consumers to be more responsible with their plastic bag consumption. Eventually maybe there won't be any more bags for me to use for crochet projects, but for now, I recycle bags by crocheting them. This blog is a place for me to display my work. Eventually I plan to create a site that includes tutorials, patterns, and info on workshops and projects. Please check back as I post updates on my progress. And if you have any suggestions, feel free to write me.
