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.
