Bin those plastic bags and crochet your own bag that you can carry wherever you go. The bag is crocheted using a fishnet stitch that expands to hold lots of goodies (our picture shows 25 x 100g balls) and folds up into a small package that will fit in your handbag. Texere C4 linen is a strong yarn available in lots of colours and is a brilliant price, although you could use any 4ply/DK cotton or bamboo type yarn. Use for your shopping, your knitting or at the beach! find out more
