Stashbuster Bags (Maybe)

I know perfectly well that no "stashbuster" ever works. This time our weaving group pulled out all the accumulated yarn that had been donated or left over from something or was just in the "don't know" basket. We were challenged to take some home and make some re-useable grocery bags to replace the plastic ones that are getting a bad reputation these days. Thinking big, I took some home, augmented the pile with carpet wool from my garage and found some cotton from my earliest weaving days for a warp. Did I use it all up? Not likely! I wove six bags and all around my weaving room I have so many leftovers I don't know where to put them!!!  No, I am not going to weave more bags - not at the moment anyway.  Here are the motley results, and if it makes you think "70s" you would be right.

Please note: I made no promises about if or when they would be made up!
