Isn't that crocheting them instead of knitting them? I crochet them but I thought I was going to see two long knotting needles going at it, or are you using more that one needle and I just don't see either of them planly enough? Please show us the process in action because I can't see how the knit one pearl two would work.

@uhhuhcheckit Plastic bags are COMPLETELY recyclable. People just don't take them in to be recycled. Or places don't accept them.

@cerise333 Ah, see, what you do is take the loop and sit the other loop on top, like a ven diagram. So loop A is on top and loop B is on bottom. FROM ABOVE, reach UNDER loop B to grab the other side of loop A. Then pull. What you'll have is a lark's head knot. You should be able to do a simple google image search to figure it out if you're still having trouble. This is a good image. Hope it helps!

I was using size 11s. Honestly, I just guess. You could easily go as high as a 15 or 19, but I wouldn't go smaller than a 9. If you make your rings smaller, then you can go down in needle size. It really depends on how tight you want your knit to be. As it turns out, I cast on WAY too many stitches on this bag and it's GIGANTIC. Beach bag big. So it's always good to do a swatch.
