From Knitting Daily:
Anyone who has visited Continental Europe can tell you that the daily trip to the market is as natural as breathing. Vicki selected linen, wetspun from fine long line flax, for strength, and tested the durability of this market bag with a few canned goods, some oranges, and a bunch of bananas. Your shoulder may wear out before the bag does!
