Category: I want this 
It's a small world
The eco-friendly shopper in me has long been wanting a shopping bag that would be easy to stuff in my ever-so-trendy-but-too-small handbags and would not endanger the life of sea turtles (you know plastic bags kill them, don't you?).
Well, this (crochet worls) is a small world, and this idea has been floating around on the internet for a while.
- Canadian living has a very simple one.
- Crochetme! issue n°14 (Spring 2004) has a pattern called Reduction tote bag, a filet tote bag with a granny square pocket to stuff the empty tote in (in my would-be-project I envisionned a round pocket with a zipper, that would also act as a purse).
- Erin et Carol knitalong blog features free patterns for crochet, knit and mesh shopping bags : String it along.
- Loom knitting anyone? Loom knitters circle recently features two free patterns : Hemp shopping bag and Market tote.
- And how about going all the ecolo-way down and recycling your old plastic bags into a new eco-friendly shopping bag? Marlo will show you how to make them into skeins first... à la Marlo.
