from vhs tape, to granny coaster

A friend sent me this post about reusing VHS tapes. On Sunday I thrifted "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for a little under a buck and after pulling out a screwdriver I got to crocheting.

I made this little coaster which I'm really digging because sometimes at work I drink cold water that gets kind of sweaty. I the VHS tape will prevent the pretty fabric from getting damp and destroyed over time.

I've been practicing my crochet skills to make a present for D.J.'s aunt. She was nice (and patient) enough to teach me how to crochet over the holidays.

All my tiny granny squares have formed one giant granny square. It's pretty big now. I can't even imagine trying to make something like a blanket if it took me days to get this far:












What I'm making is a tiny pillow. Actually a cover to the blue pillow below:
