FO: Market Bags

Here in Los Angeles they've recently jumped on board the "no plastic bag train." Being from the Bay Area, which embraced this idea early on, I am ecstatic! I also am terrible about remembering to carry a bag with me.

I found this schnazzy Market Bag pattern on Ravelry and tried out a purple color-block theme:

Then another:

And another, another:

And so on...until I had made 7 of these. And I've just ordered yarn to make more!

This has become my go-to quick gift knit idea. It's amazing! It's fast! It is a stash buster, it's easy to memorize, it looks cute and most importantly it's useful. I loathe impractical gifts. And I also have a fair amount of concern when it comes to giving knit gifts to people - what if they hate it? Or it doesn't fit? Or gets destroyed by their hellish cat? Too much pressure. These are PERECT. Expendable, washable, good for the environment, etc. Of the 7 I've made 6 of them have been given already, and I've already got requests for more.

Bags for everyone!!
