Yes, re-purpose old T shirts etc! ..and you can adjust the size of the 'holes' by making your chains smaller..the patterns in Youtube does it in blocks of 10 I've halved it to 5 per ..so less stuff goes rolling down the street! lol. I will need to write the pattern down as my D in law is a community developement worker & wants to teach her craft class how to do it so they can sell & raise funds for the clubs.

Like the bag, and light up hooks.
Come the winter, therest never enough light, or brilliant if using a darker yarn I guess too! Very cool! Like those a lot!
We used to use strong bags at Secondary school in the early 80's, with a plastic bag inside.
Our had wooden handles though, very uncomfortable!
Your design looks great. X

Hi.
@Weeme56, I hated my wooden handels, nice and more comfortable with string, I just cannot follow patterns, and only learnt squares as someone sat with me and showed me repeatedly!?Politeness costs nothing, but goes a long way in life.

Hi thank you so much for the inspiration. I learned basic crochet from my gran as a small child but haven't done it for years. Maybe now is the time to do just that! I need something to take my mind off things & this could be just the thing x
