knitting with unusual media

[susianna]

I was just curious...I've read about knitting with plastic bags, fine gauge wire and ripped up t-shirts, but I'd love to hear about any other funky "material" that has been or could be used to create truly original pieces! Anyone here have something to share? I thought of doing something with duct tape, but that might be overly ambitious! Thanks for any thoughts on this in the spirit of fun!

I haven't knit with anything out of the ordinary, but I have crocheted with drapery cord. Here's a thread where I "confess" this and where others talk about what they've used: http://www.knittinghelp.com/forum/sh...t=drapery+cord
