Any day now, the Guardian are to publish a knitting supplement. What a sensible newspaper!
We have made an I Pod cover out of spun 2ply cassette tape and a Polystyrene Cup Cover out of spun aran 'weight' plastic bags, the patterns for which you can find in the supplement.
The cassette tape yarn sparkles and has coloured stickers spun in with it. It has an amazing shock absorbing quality to it, so hopefully your i-pod will last longer.
The plastic yarn for the cup cover is durable, crunchy, soft and of course, washable.
We took these photos in our local park in Bethnal Green, which we find more beautiful now we have used the plastic bags and cassette tapes which were growing in the trees and bushes. The patterns are very easy, and we hope you like them.
