There are many great things about spring; but one of my favorite things the warming weather indicates is the opening of the local Farmer’s Market.  I love walking around the booths and looking at all of the things grown within a short distance of where I live.  It’s a great place to pick up some really interesting ingredients, as well as inspiration for your next project.

One of the most practical project ideas suggested by the Farmer’s Market experience is a tote bag.  Yes, a cute, simple knit tote bag is one of the best things you can make to rock your local market.  Most Farmer’s Markets are more enjoyable when you bring your own bags, especially if you plan to make multiple purchases from several different stalls, and nothing says “sustainable” like a hand-knit bag.

We’ve collected an assortment of durable, yet stylish patterns that will make going to the market or grocery store a real treat.  Popping your purchases into a knitted bag is one of the best ways to show off your fabulous knitting skills.

    Do I use multi-use bags for shopping? I always plan to, then forget them at home. I’ve knit and crocheted tons of them from discarded plastic bags. I’ve felt like it took way too long to make one. I started making quilted totes out of those crazy plastic grocery bags. They really work out well, and take less time than knitting or crocheting. The threads you stitch into the quilting make it stronger and look pretty neat. I usually have 4 layers of plastic quilted together, then seamed into a simple tote bag. The handles are usually integrated into the bag sides so there is no seam to accidentally rip out. Everyone who has commented, says they are really awesome. I wonder if it’s because they don’t sew??? These knit bags are great designs and work well for unusual size or shape items. Thanks for including them.
