Large Econo-Shopper

[dhaunae]

And I do mean large! I love it This is the large size of Natalie's Econo-Shopper Bag, which I tested and am in love with:manyheart It used just under 3 balls of Sugar 'n Cream in the Rainbow Bright colorway, was made (to the total amazement of my coworkers and myself!) in one 8-hour shift at work between and during phone calls. Squishes down to nothing so you could easily stick it in your purse, take it to the store, and then put a bookoodle of groceries (or an orange cat) in it. I had to include the cat picture, btw ... he was trying sooo hard to get into the bag, so we finally let him. He was sleeping in it when my son decided to pick up the bag and take a trophy picture which I found on the camera this morning. Clicky for larger pictures ...

 

The bag, empty and laid out on my table:

This baby holds four fullsized rolls of Bounty paper towels ... and there's still room for more!

Side view:

You've heard of the cat in the hat? Here's the cat in the bag:

Looks fantastic! I must make one (thanks for the yarn usage listed). The cat is so calm in there-amazing.

OMG! That's so wild - it reminds me of that site Drew plugged on his blog... Stuff on My Cat...

 

And to echo Deneen... Thanks for the yarn specs!! Mind if I mention that on the pattern?

I thought my cats sleeping on the afghan I've got going was bad. . . Great work!

[racerose]

Great Job!! I can't wait to make one of my own! Great design. I wonder how many skeins of yarn I could store in it
