Perfecting the knitted plastic bag

These latest bags were made using larger needles and the structure is more open and stretchy. They hold quite a lot and are very strong, and yet weigh just over a half pound. They also use less plastic and so are even more eco-friendly :)

I saved up all of the brightly colored shopping bags (mostly from department stores) to create this lively bag.
Side one and...

Side Two.

This bag had a more subtle color palette and includes a few bread bags and department store bags for color accents.

(the flip side of the above bag)

Knitting has been good therapy for me lately. Having a portable project gives me something to do while Clare plays at playgrounds with friends or when I'm waiting in the doctor's office.
