Plastic or Paper?

When I remember to get them out of my trunk I've been trying to bring bags with me to the grocery store.

The other day I was looking at my giant basket of dishcloth yarn and thinking what can I do with all this other than making dishcloths with it. I went to Ravelry (where else) and put in Sugar N Cream and started looking at what everyone was doing with it. I found market bags. Great idea for me. I could use up the dishcloth yarn on something so useful. I found a bunch and sent all my possibles to a friend and this is the one she was going to try out. That helped me decide so here's the first of hopefully many. It took a full skein of the large ball of Lion Cotton and I did make it a bit shorter than the pattern called for but I knew it would stretch out.

(Sarah, do ya want one?)


Here are some of the other patterns I'm hoping to try out:
