FO: Plastic Bag Stash-o-matic

Do you have something to stash plastic bags in?It's pretty much a "must" if you have dogs, are a huge reuse/recycle fan, or are Asian. The basic idea is it's something that you can easily stuff a lot of bags in, and pull bags out of, and is put in a convenient place in your home.

We have a bunch of them made by my auntie - sewn sleeves that have elastic at each end, to hold in the bags. Unfortunately we've used them so much that the elastic is shot. Now, anytime you try to grab a bag, a whole bunch dump out all over the floor, and, well, no one likes that.

Ah-ha, knitting to the rescue! Wouldn't it be neat if instead of sewn, closed fabric - our PBS was mesh? Since I've taken to hanging my sunglasses on this it makes perfect sense! A new, improved Stash-o-matic that has dual purpose AND uses some of my leftover yarn! Win-win-win.

Improvised as I went, it's a really easy knit. Basically I made a meshy leg warmer, and then added a strap. 

I may have tried it on and danced a short 80s musical montage. Cannot confirm.

Full notes on their way - I'm going to try another version and then type up the best product. So far I'm thinking I'll definitely switch to a larger gauge for the mesh, and a smaller needle garter stitch for the ends instead of ribbing.
