I cut my bags about 1" wide for the strips and use the double strand method where I interlink the bags together to create a ball of "yarn." I have found if I go too wide it's hard to work with. I use a old metal "N' crochet hook for most projects and a smaller hook to weave in the ends and finish off the product. Most of my projects are made with Hdc stitch as I have found this to work best for me. I just started doing some Motifs and a granny square stitch for products and they work well too using recycled plastic bags. Cindy www.myrecycledbags.com I love the colors you have used so far!

I've been collecting good colors of plastic bags to make a bag. Great timing - I should bring it on vacation next week to work on. Awesome post!
