Plastic Bag Links

I started a tote bag crocheted from plastic bags last week. I'm so excited about it. At the GCVV fair in December, I had bought a crocheted bag from Sophia's mother-in-law. She had made them out of grocery store plastic bags, and mine was made out of jute and another fiber (no plastic bag), and lined. Sophia's mother-in-law does beautiful work, and Sophia told me the pattern could be found on the Internet. So I googled it a few weeks ago, and lo and behold, came upon these wonderful sites:

Google is a wonderful tool / resource on the Internet. I believe I typed in "crocheted plastic bags". But you can use it to find just about anything. And I mean, anything!
