Hi  All,

I have been off list since shortly after the Plarn class because  my 
computer
stopped working.  I am back on-line finally and want to  thank those of you
who joined the plarn class.  It was nice to get to  know you better.

To answer Joyce's question, plarn strips work best if  they are 
approximately
1 inch wide.  I measured my first strip using a  ruler.  After that, I 
simply
estimated the width as I cut.  Some  of the strips were a little crooked.
Before unfolding a crooked strip, I  just trimmed the edge until it felt
straight.  I missed some of my  crooked loops, however, so just added them 
to
my plarn.  As I  crocheted, I found that loops of slightly different widths
worked  fine.  On the other hand, crooked loops, where part of the edge  
stuck
out from the strand, sometimes stuck out when crocheted, making my  work a
little sloppy.

As a final thought, I used tall kitchen trash  bags instead of grocery bags
to make my plarn.  Trash bags are bigger,  so you get more loops per bag.
The downside is that trash bag plastic is a  little thicker than grocery
bags.  I found crocheting with it a little  hard on the fingers.

Thank you Nancy for the Plarn class you gave  us.  

I guess most caught on in the first class on how to do  it.

Can you give any tips on how best to cut the strips of  plastic  bags 
evenly?
or is that not a big issue?

Thank you  once again for yourr first class!
