Which brings me to share with you a cool site. http://www.myrecycledbags.com/ has crochet patterns for bags made out of grocery carrier bags and VHS tape. I was looking for a pattern for a clutch handbag (a topic for another post) and stumbled onto this site. I was especially intrigued by the clothespin/peg bag. http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2007/08/11/crochet-a-recycled-clothes-pin-bag/ I didn't use her pattern for my bag, but it was my inspiration.
I used bags from Sainsbury's(http://www.sainsburys.co.uk)%20which/ which are a cool colour and are already made of 33% recycled materials.
*Tyndale House, where we live, has one dryer to be shared by all the family residences (>6 families). It costs one pound for each load and there is usually a queue. I am by no means complaining about this. It helps us to use it wisely.

wow that's cool. If I crocheted, that would be for me
A future birthday or Christmas present for you, maybe, Em?
VHS tape? That's brilliant! We could probably find some on the street, entangled in the trees on a busy corner. (I never could understand that!)
Hanging wash out is almost like a luxury; drying off with crunchy line-dried towels is one of the best feelings! I don't know how it happens, but even though we're so close to I-55, our clothes still manage to smell fresh.
I hope all is well with you, Kristen. I'm glad to hear you are so warmly received at Tyndale House. It would be my privilege to give you a warm reception whenever you find yourself in Chicago.
Warmly,
Pamela
