Last week I made two small grocery bags using Keyka Lou’s pattern. I was in ikea this morning and found this super cute rainbow striped fabric. It is home dec weight so it is quite substantial.

I decided to make the largest size because you can never have too many reusable grocery bags. I use mine all the time. The cashiers still give me weird looks when I tell them I don’t want a bag because I live in the land of consumption. Most stores sell reusable bags, but almost no one ever uses them. I always want to give people a thumbs up when I see them refusing plastic bags.

Sewing this took no time at all since I was already familiar with the construction and didn’t need to read the instructions.

This is my giant uncoordinated blanket which I have been knitting for months. It is on 10mm needles which give me cramps after a couple of rows so it is going super slow.

Here it is next to the smallest size. I still have more of the fabric, I think I might make all three sizes using it. It is just perfect. Large enough for a trip to the store without being too big.
