Recycled Project Bags

Over time I've worked out the kind of bags that are perfect for crochet projects. Its best to keep a project in its own bag so you can grab it and go when you need something to do while you wait for a doctor, etc. Clear plastic bags are the best, so you can see what's inside without having to rummage around. I used to use recycled paper bags, and although you can see into the top, if you have as many projects on the go as I do they don't work so well!

The absolutely perfect project bag is a clear plastic bag that secures at the top, with a zip or a drawstring like this shopping bag I've recycled from Coles. Its a special bag for their new line of clothes, which I scored last week when I bought a new singlet. Other perfect bags are the zippered clear bags you sometimes get when you buy new sheets for your bed. For a few years now I've kept all zippered and closable clear plastic bags, as well as some bags that aren't quite perfect like clear bags that don't close as well, for when I have too many projects in progress!
