I have started one of theses, but I am kniting mine, they are very strong, but really hard work it let the tension get too tight.

the display of the tutorial is great. It looks very easy to do. I often wonder what to do with a lot of my plastic wraps. thanks.

Just finished a knitted one of these about a week ago. Took much longer than I expected because of stopping to cut all of the strips but overall was fun and is resourceful. Friend have been requesting them- there are some being sold on Etsy but I prefer to do it myself.
