No Plastic Please - Hand Knit Shopping Bag - Progress Update

The body of the has been complete for about a week now. I just have to start the handles.  The handles are I-cords that are knit directly on to the top of the bag.  I've convinced myself that this will be difficult so I have been putting it off.  I'm going to Cornwall this weekend so it will be the perfect time to get working on those handles.

Hotness Top Update 3 - Just keep Knitting

The sweater is almost finished. I actually had to knit the front section two and a half times before I got it right. Maybe it's the time of year and all the distractions of the holiday season but I couldn't maintain my concentration, so mistakes kept happening.
