I just realized today that everyone must think all I do is spin and knit. I actually do a little weaving - narrow wares, to be precise. For me, that includes tabletweaving (also know as card weaving), inkle weaving (like tablet weaving, only you have just two permutations the warp threads can take, versus ... quite a few for tabletweaving), and finger loop braiding. This is the beginning of a handle for a bag that I knit for myself yesterday to use when I go shopping. I realized on my trip to the UK that I'm a poor world citizen and am learning what I can do to consume less, consume locallly manufactured/grown items, and recycle more.
I plan to start making Morsbags: http://www.morsbags.com/ over the next few weeks to hand out to friends, coworkers, and strangers to help reduce (and maybe someday eliminate) the use of plastic shopping bags.
I knew I didn't have enough of either color cotton yarn, so I did the bottom and edge in the dark color and the main bag with the fun color. This both showcases the varigated yarn and also puts the dark yarn in the places that are most likely to get dirty.
