What’s the cure for having too many crocheted shopping bags around the house? Why, of course, it’s getting even more crocheted shopping bags in your house! They are such a fun project to take on, because you can never have too many: a few for the house, a bunch in the car, and another one to carry around in your tote bag, just in case you find that amazing, astounding, once-in-a-lifetime bargain. Aside from that, they are simply fun to experiment with, as well as being a very useful and attractive fashion accessory. And, of course, because they are so versatile, they are also infinitely variable, so make ones that are unique to you or those you bestow them with.
