I saw Kathi's booth at the market yesterday and at first glance I walked right by, but then I walked over again and saw these bags close up and my mouth dropped. Her bags are made from plastic bags that she gathers from recycling bins around town and from friends and family. Made with a small crochet hook which adds more work for her but she believes makes a better, stronger product. I had a fun time guessing which store the the bags came from, Market Basket, Shaws, Target etc.

These are really cool. I have tried to crochet with grocery bags but it never comes out as clean looking as she's done here.
look very good and pretty! and this idea of recycled things is great!
These are great! Lovely designs and looks so strong.
These bags are wonderful! They look good and sturdy and what a wonderful array of shapes and sizes. And I love that they are made from recycled bags!
wow. that IS amazing. they are very good looking; I love the shapes.
wow, these are great! I've had a go at knitting plastic bags in the past but as I can only knit squares, it wasn't much good! Great blog x
Thanks SO much for the plug Jenn. It was so very nice to meet you on Saturday. I hope we see each other again! Kathi
