Good lord, more bags??
To date, I’ve knit five Everlasting Bagstoppers. Well, four from the pattern and one that I tried to modify and OMG what a mess. They’re awesome, and they don’t fill up landfills like those damn plastic bags. I get all kinds of compliments on my bags when I take them to the store. They make me happy.
I have on the needles one more (the pink and white one) and the yarn for a second (rust and purple and white). Made from basic, cheap Sugar ‘n Cream cotton, which you can get at any hobby store, they only take a few hours of knitting. The only modification I’ve made to the pattern is to use i-cord handles instead of the woven ribbon handles that the pattern calls for.
I can’t recommend this pattern enough. It’s free, it’s easy, it’s very well written, and it’s mindless to do. Plus, you’re helping the environment by using these bags instead of the non-biodegradable bags from the store.

I love those! If I could knit I’d be making me a set for sure. Unfortunately, these hands were made for typin’…and well..uhm… other stuff too.
