Maker Faire Austin 2008

Knotty bags

I crochet strips of recycled plastic bags into multifunctional and reusable shopping bags. These bags have just the right amount of stretch to carry what you need, but also are sturdy enough to withstand cans and bottles and 6-packs, oh my!

About the Maker(s)

Michelle Olson

I am proud to be a returning Maker! I enjoy reading periodicals like Ready Made and People magazine, which I feel makes me well-rounded and more interesting. Although I rely on plastic bags for my Knotty bags to exist, I support the Ban the Bag movement. I have a small fear that my wrists may give out from too much crocheting. Recently, I have been experimenting with fusing plastic (iron it together, yo) while avoiding fumes and excessive lung trauma.
