I'm on a market bag kick.  This one hails from our neighbor to the north, Canada.

I'm about to start it.  It looks easy and takes only 3 balls of Patons Grace (50gm) and a 4 mm crochet hook.  Click on link for details and instructions.

I'm trying out http://redheart.com Eco-Cotton blend, 85gm, it's a 4, medium weight.  For more info and patterns for this yarn click on the redheart link, click on yarn, under "browse by weight" click on "medium", scroll down to Eco-Cotton and enjoy.

Market Bag

"Crochet Save the Earth Bag"

This easy market bag is good looking and fun to do.  I used Red Heart's Eco-Cotton in Candy Marl for a bright cheerful bag in hues of yellow, orange and blue.  It takes 2 skeins of yarn.

I finished it in two sittings while watching TV, it's a good project for that.
