Cool, Radical, and Just Plain Awesome Scarf

I am making a scarf. Every 5-7 rows I do a different stitch. I started out with garter stitch (just plain knitting) and then I went to the seed stitch (which is every other stitch is knitting and every other other stitch is purled). I just keep doing combos of knitting and purling

Crocheting With Plastic

I learned how to crochet with plastic! I cut up plastic bags, tied them together and voila.
I like it because it's recycling and making something cool! I don't have a pic.
