Knitting With Paper

I'm taking a sculpture class this semester, and our first assignment is to build something entirely out of paper. Currently, I'm working on creating a small tree made primarily out of newspaper and brown paper bags. It's nowhere near finished, but I'll post photos when it is. Before I began the tree, however, my first idea was to experiment with knitting:



To do this, I tore newspaper into long, thin strips and braided them together to make a cord, which I then knitted. It was somewhat tedious, but the result looked pretty cool.
