An Extremely Generic Blog Filled With My Interests

You may be here from My Art Blog or from My Political Blog. This is what I link in those blogs as My Fun Blog. It's just a place where I can enjoy the high of sharing gifs, memes, and other internet nonsense for my own enjoyment. There is no direction for this blog. However, there will be overlap. While my art blog focuses on art, animation, and inspiration - my political blog focuses on general ranting about the US political climate and my personal experiences in it. This also will involve memes and gifs of a political nature. But this blog is just for funsies. So hopefully I can put something out on the world between these 3 blogs and make someone smile or breathe heavily through their nose.

as a duel hellsite citizen i feel it is important to bring news from twitter: namely that on this, the exact same day that tumblr starts trialing paywalls, twitter is trialing dislikes

Okay so in LA they've had the reusable bag and thick plastic bag for ten cents going on for years but in Vegas they still give you thin plastic bags at every store but they're these really thin shitty bags that you pretty much can't reuse because they barely survive the trip from the car to the house.

So basically this is how I tell you that I've started making plarn that I'm crocheting into a plarn basket that I will use to hold the plarn balls I make in the future in order to control how many plastic bags are pouring out of our cabinets.

[ms-demeanor]

How to make plarn:

1. Flatten out a clean plastic bag

2. Cut off the handles and the bottom

3. Cut diagonally into the plastic until the strand is about as thick as you want it to be. (Probably aim for at least an inch thick, it doesn't have to be super even all the way around but you don't want it to get so thin that the strand will break)

4. Cut in a spiral until you run out of bag and then diagonally cut your way out of the final loop.

5. Tie the end of the strand to the end of whatever you were working on or to the last stand you cut.

6. Wind or crochet like any other bulky yarn.

The gray disk at the bottom of this post is the bottom of my basket, I'm using an N/10mm hook in a double-crocheted spiral. (I've just started the first layer of elevation)

So far I'm about 10-12 bags in and I've been trimming the tails of the joined bags as I go.

(One bag's worth of plarn goes about halfway around the disk at this point, I think I'm going to do 3-4 more gray bags before I change colors; bags come in 3 general colors around here so this basket is going to be mostly white with gray and brown accents.)

Also save the bag scraps, you can use them as stuffing. I'm gonna make a big fucking pincushion with mine. It's gonna be a cube made out of the leftover cat fabric that I don't want to use for masks.

Worked my way through the ball in the first photoset, made some more balls. I'm intrigued by the way the patterns on the white bags show up. I've got some Ross and 99 cent store bags in the next white ball to add some purple and blue-green to the mix.

Making this basket might actually exhaust my current supply of plastic bags, so I've asked my dad to set aside his thicker bags for me in LA so I can compare working both materials.

Kind of get the feeling that I'm going to be a complete gremlin and make a laundry hamper out of the thicker plastic.

[ms-demeanor]

It's a little ugly, but it's going to do a great job of holding my plarn and associated projects.

Oh this is totally apocalypse punk! Makes me want to make my own for use in small grocery runs. Or just to write a scrappy band of fictional survivors using them, haha.

NGL, cutting apart a pile of plastic trash and turning it into thread and rolling it into balls and crocheting it into fabric does feel like some variety of cyberpunk Rumplestiltskin shit.
