In my blogging, I ran across firefly's blog I live on a farm. I haven't done any knitting in years, but her knitted grocery bag was so pretty, and her reasons for using the 'green bags' so convincing that I thought I would give it a try. Besides, about a year ago I bought some circular knitting needles that I haven't tried, and I thought this would be a good thing to try them with. The complete instructions are on her blog, and you'll be helping the environment, if you would like to give it a try, also.

I can't wait to see your bag. One of our local grocery stores has a new thing going now. They have canvas bags for sale for 2 or 2.5 bucks and when you buy them, you get some discount on your groceries when you use it on future visits. I'm just buying one each time I shop there. Soon, I'll have enough for all my grocery shopping, and a discount to boot. Thought this was a great idea! They are really nice heavy bags.
I love to knit, but I not good at it and my hands have become uncooperative, but I love the idea of a reusable bag. Ours are recycled, but they still have to manufactured to begin with...
Oh, this is really cute AND you are doing something "green."
Beautiful! I need some more reusable bags for shopping. What could be better than making my own. Thanks!
