At the Picasa I had three albums with the knitting of plastic bags: one with bags, hats, and the second with the third with slippers, rugs, flowers.
I buy several packages specifically for knitting. Cut out and knit. And use the packages from the store, friends gather for me a plastic bag. In Russia, too, is a movement against plastic bags to protect wildlife of the oceans. We sell plastic bags are the same as you, and biological, too, urge to sew reusable bags, and the yin to use plastic bags.
I'm keen on knitting from the plastic bags for several years.
Just the plastic bags are great for knitting bags, hats, sneakers. They keep their shape well, easily erased, worn for a long time. I wear them, my daughter, mother, friend.

I beg your forgiveness for my English. But really liked the bag in this topic.

Thank you all for a good reception. In my albums are master classes in knitting bags, hats and sneakers. Knitting I cut plastic bags 2 cm wide and knitting crochet number 2, 5, or number 3. And to finish, flowers I cut the plastic bags 1 cm in width and knitting crochet number 1, 5 - 2. In Russia many handicraft sites where women socialize, learn from each other.

I'd love to try this, I've seen plastic bag knitting before and always thought it looked fantastic. I might have a try as my next project once I finish of the current one.

If you look at the top of the page you will see a heading 'Articles'. We have alsorts of things in there: How to do things, mainly. I thought your lovely pictures would make a great article. Have a look at some and see what you think.
