Plarn grocery sack to sell at Farmer's Market

Well...I made this tapestry crochet plarn bag last year.....Listening to folks talk at my farmers market booth, I frequently heard comments about how few groceries could fit in it....well, it's a tote bag....




So that got me to thinking that folks want GROCERY BAGS made out of grocery bags; rather than tote bags. So today......I designed this.....
Sorry about the trampouline I thought the black background brought out the stitches better.....
here it it full of groceries!

It works pretty good...I added a bunch of extra stitches around the ends of the handles as I figured those would be the weak points.

Took me about 4 hours to make. while I was working on it I watched youtubes of craft fair booths to try to get myself some inspiration and motivation to keep working. I am sooo looking forward to Spring, planting a garden, and my farmer's market booth. I miss talking to everyone on Saturdays!!!!

Only one problem...I was so enthusiastically crocheting that I broke my 9mm hook......:(


I didn't think I was pulling on it that hard....it just snapped in two....So I pulled out my 10mm N hook as I can't find my other M hook. I've never seen this size in aluminum in the stores, I'm hoping I can find it in aluminum somewhere.




Oh, and before I forget, saw some neat youtubes on spnning plarn using a sewing machine, makes really nice plarn! I'm out of bags! I gotta go hit the Ingle's recycling bin and try this!!!!



This video just blows me away! Can you believe the beautiful plarn she was able to create!













Leave me a comment or two! I'd love to hear from y'all!
