I came to visit my son for Christmas. While we were opening presents, they brought out a big box. No, a BIG box. My son pushed it across the floor to me as if it were really heavy. All I could think was, "Oh, no, how am I going to get that back on the plane?!" So, I opened it. It was full of plastic bags. My son and his wife, and her parents, had saved their bags for the whole last year. I think that was my best present, at least I was glad to get all those bags. For two weeks, I've spent hours a day, cutting bags, tying strips together and rolling them into balls. I'm not finished yet! At last count, there are over 200 of just tan bags. Maybe that'll be enough to finish a beach bag and a rug for them.
I'm not just working with plarn. This afghan wasn't finished when I left last year. I thought it needed 3 more stripes and a border. I haven't been including these projects in my wip count. That's OK, it gives me a variety to work on for the rest of my visit while my son and his wife are at their jobs.
