craftgrrlIt's been, like, forever...
A few weeks ago somebody posted This Link for a pattern of a totebag crocheted out of plastic shopping bags. I decided I needed to make one, and since we have a gabillion and one shopping bags in our house, I had plenty of resources.
So I printed off the pattern, started it, and then promptly ignored the rest of the pattern.
and the inside:
It only took me two weekends. I probably would have had it done in the first one had I not been a complete lazy ass and put it aside to read and stuff. It measures about 16" by 18" and the handles are way shorter than the ones from the pattern. When I got done with it, the inside looked neater than the outside, so it got turned inside out. ;)
And I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to use it for.
Last night, while I was finishing cutting up the bags, the exchange went a little like this...
Roomie: You're doing what with that again?
Me: I'm crocheting these bags into one big bag.
Roommate: Yeah, that's just WEIRD.
Me: I'm RECYCLING!!
Roommate: Call it "crocheting," call it "recycling"...know what I call it? WEIRD.
He's so the uncrafty boy. He doesn't get it at all. But he's funny, so I guess he can live.
