PINK MARKET BAG

by

I came across a whole bunch of vintage chunky acrylic yarn at a thrift store, so I’ve been making shopping bags with it. Easy, doesn’t require attention, and makes a useful non-specific gift.

Because the yarn is so thick and I used 8mm needles, the bag isn’t very net-like. I know if I were to use bigger needles this project would be faster with more open space, but I really don’t like the feel of big needles in my hand.

IMG_5745I’ve also realized how bored I get with YO, k2tog. I never really get into the rhythm of knitting, so I’ll be exploring other approaches for the rest of the yarn.

I made it around the same time as I made my mom’s shopping bag.

KNIT BAG FOR MY MOM

by

knit shopping bag, made by Julianne

It’s made from your basic Red Heart-esque acrylic yarn. I made up the pattern as I went along. Starting at the bottom, I did kfb increases, and the netting is a basic YO, k2tog mesh. The handles are i-cord.

Since her birthday is on the 8th, and her new age ends in 8, I made the bottom of the bag have 8 increase points. knit shopping bag, made by Julianne
