Try and find a local group that you can learn at. It's much easier if you can attend a class than trying to learn from a book. But if there isn't a local crafting group, check out your library or craft store for a "learn to crochet" book. Best wishes on your plarn bag!</em> @miranduh821,

But it's always rejuvenating to see a blog owned by as creative as a person as you....I loved the ribbon bow in the centre... BTW, wouldn't you gift one of these lovely bags to me on one of my birthdays :P Just kidding :) Hi Cindy,

Some bags do stretch more than other others so use care with those if you make plarn. Also crochet a bit loose so you don't pull on your plarn. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Cindy</em> @Greenstyle,

Am I cutting my strips too thin? Is my tension just too tight? Any advice? Thanks!
