So you think I might be a recycler? These strings ( about 20 " in length) are used to tie the cow feed bags closed. They can cause a big problem if they're scattered where the cows might eat them. So I decided to find a use for the big pile on a shelf in the barn.
I washed them in a mesh bag and DH tied them together. I crocheted the shaggy purse. At first I kept all the knots inside and the outside was smooth, but took it apart and redid it leaving the knots on the outside....liked it better. I have a pillow top started with them, but ran out of strings ( that was at least 4 yrs. ago ) and haven't got back to it since I've accumulated more. And become a shaggy purse [ATTACH=CONFIG]5885[/ATTACH] The strings accumulate [ATTACH=CONFIG]5928[/ATTACH] |
that's a neat purse. guess i'd better pass on the strings. i have too many projects going on as it is :oops:

nanabirdmo.........Sometimes I just have to see what can be done with what appears to be a worthless pile of 'stuff". It's like a challenge. Most of these crazy projects were done before I got a laptop that I can take with me. :lol: :lol: Now I'd be talking to my quilting friends. :lol: I remember DH tying those together while we were on the beach in FL.

I like your purse! I would have used the strings to make cording or piping or to give my appliqued stems some thickness. I would never have done something as clever as you did with them. My hat is off to you!
