New look, new start

Hey! It's about time for a new post.  Since it's been so long, and so much has changed in my life, I decided to change up the look around here.

And I have been knitting!  So let's start with that.

I finally FINALLY finished the seed stitch bag I started way back in 2006.

It looks about the same, right?  I had actually finished all the knitting way back when, I just wanted to line it (and bead it but I decided not to do that in the end).  So I never did the actual finishing work.  But having bought a cool old sewing machine, I had the motivation to kick this WIP to the FO pile.

And the lining turned out great!

I used the tutorial over here. Worked out perfect!

Okay this doesn't count as knitting, since I only sewed, but I'll get to some of my knitting in the next post.
