Crocheting with Bailing Twine? Anyone ever?

[Bleenie]

I was feeding the cows this morning and picking up the twine other people had thrown on the floor and started wondering what i could do with it. I could drop it at a twine recycle place but what about making somehting out of it??

has anyone ever used bailing twine to make something out of? specifically crochet?

I've got a couple barrels full of orange & blue bailing twine!

Hey Bleenie~

Did you create anything w/ your twine yet? I save all mine from the straw bales, but haven't done anything with mine yet. It's just so nice and strong. I feel like it's a waste to throw away.

I bet it would make great crochet grocery bags......

I was thinking of trying to crochet some planters(like flower pots) with it. I think if i can work it well/tight enough, it'll do a good job of holding in the dirt and still ahve good drainage. I actually just brought the twine up tonight so I could try

I mostly have orange twine so they probably won't be the prettiest planters but maybe i can 'sprice' them up somehow

That's a great idea! If you make anything, will you post a photo?? I'll start saving ours for crochet and I'll take a photo too

Cool! I bet it will make a strong planter. Can't wait to see what your create. I like itsy's idea of grocery bags as well.

I started it last night and boy is it tough to work with!! I started using a big needle and then had to sqitch to a smaller one to be able to pull it though! I got the base done and 1 row along the side. I will post as soon as i get it finished!

and you can make a loooped carpet or door rug for outside to wipe feet. Or a mat for the chicken nesting box.

Macrame (sp) plants, have to rig it up so it can take various sizes of pots.

I did macrame years ago,and that was my thought when I saw the post about baleing twine. There are also some good things to make copying paracord designs. Youtube has alot of designs for key fobs, and other things made from para cord.

Friend of mine uses all those plastic grocery bags to crochet purses. Cuts them up into strips and goes at it. She actually sold some too.
