Seems stores are now going to be charging us for plastic carrier bags.

 

Whilst I have no problem paying for these, I object strongly when these bags are plastered with the logos of the stores. IMHO, they should be paying ME to do their advertising.

 

Anyway.. having a fair old stock of plastic bags anyway, I have knitted/crocheted my own bags out of these. They are far stronger and none of the logos show :)

 

There are plenty of knitting patterns available if you google them, but these two links have proved to be useful.

And I have attached a pdf for a crocheted bag.
