MSH March 2008: Simplicity
I'm knitting a bag out of hemp twine to replace those little plastic bags we tend to use for produce. A small step in the journey towards a more simple, sustainable and environmentally responsible life.

It's just a little bag intended to replace the small plastic bags we all use for fruit and vegetables.I usually dump everything in a big cloth bag but its the little thingsThe original pattern is a much bigger bag but because I'm using hemp twine it's much finer. The pattern is very forgiving for a beginner. I'll give it away as part of the Christmas packages probably with some preserves. Anyone for eggplant antipasto? Or mango chutney, pineapple or banana jam?

Pineapple Jam
Banana chutney
Papaya chutney
Dark Mango chutney
Eggplant antipasto
The top 4 recipes have all ended up as Christmas gifts in the past. I'm currently trying the antipasto recipe and so far it is GREAT. I just did it with one eggplant but I'm probably going to do a big batch of the stuff and put it in small jars. It's such an easy recipe.
