That's a cool idea. I also saw clothing made out of grocery bags here: http://www.craftzine.com/blog/archive/2007/03/plastic_grocery_bags_into_knit.html

This may be a solution for all those pesky grocery bags that we get. Right now, banning them completely seems to cause an increase in plastic bags used to line trash containers. When you can't recycle, why not reuse?

I really want to make this bag, but I'm knitting now.
Are there knitting instructions to match?
Thanks.

For knitting I think you can try a simple garter stitch (knit every row) to the measurement of how you want the bag to be. Try knitting a swatch for gauge to get your exact stitches/measurements correct.

wat up this method would be easier buy getting some plastic bags and baking paper put 1 on the bottom then put 2 plastic bags joining at the handle and put another piece of baking paper on top and iron then keep goin and then you join the sides and the handle then walah you have a plastic bag bag
