I ducked into my LYS yesterday morning to get a couple balls of merino cashmere for a pair of fetching to make for a work colleague who has a new job in a much colder town to where we are now. I got two balls of the Heirloom Cashmerino, love it, it is just great to knit. I made the pair on Saturday arvo and night, then realised that one is about 1 or 2 rows bigger than the other, so what to do, knit another set one bigger than the other, so I did, and I am about 1/2 way through, only one smaller one to go. I will finish them tonight. Pretty good 2 pairs of fetching from 2 balls of cashmerino. Beautiful.
I have covered the 100g challenge with my local knitters guild for November. I bought 2 balls of Anchor Magicline No3. which are 5og each and from 2 balls made a lovely string back. I think string bags will be making a come back as more places around here are going plastic bag free. My local Council which is where I work wants our municipality to go plastic bag free, it will be intereting to see how they go about it and how long it takes to become plastic bag free. Intereting concept. Good idea too.

I have done that, made a slight error and then ended up making extra things!!Love your string bag. I know it is green, but it is very sensible and nice as well!!
I read about the Addi Clicks: hope they live up to your expectations.
The bag looks great, and so useful. I keep meaning to make one, but get so easily distracted.
