Let's just pretend I finished this bag several months ago, shall we? Here is--as my sister, H.A., dubbed it--the bag of bags! I crocheted it out of a bunch of Kroger plastic grocery bags we'd accumulated, and from donations from friends as well. The lighter tan bags are from Michigan Krogers, and the darker ones are Ohio Krogers. The white stripe is a couple of Hillers bags. It turned out to be surprisingly sturdy and flexible, in part because the method I had of making the "yarn" for them uses a double layer of plastic.
Bags of bags seem to be popping up everywhere, and I love it! Not only is it environmentally friendly, but people are taking up needlecrafts, and that can only be a good thing!
Here it is, stuffed with tea towels.

It looks so cute! I can't wait to see it in person. That is assuming we have power by Thursday.
ohmygoodness - that's so cool. you would never know from far away or even up close that it's made from grocery bags. we always save our kroger bags, and i rarely know what to do with them. it just seems wrong to throw them out.
