    FF - you just crack me up along with everyone else!

    Yes, a plarn tote is 'plastic yarn' which is old plastic grocery bags. It is so neat and really holds alot! I have used it a few times already with toting my knitting around here on the property so I would always have it with me....from garage to house to garage to lawn chair.

    I cannot wait to get chosen - already have a plan to make my RAOK a total secret!! So someone will be getting something from Hawaii and not be able to tell by the postmark!! I must be a naturally devious person since I truly do not have extra time to think this type of thing up!!

    Thanks. I had seen them on-line but saw some at our fair where I could 'squish' them/touch them..........they are really cool. They looked like they would be really durable too.
