Zeeby's bag Update

I've finished the front, back, and gusset. I'm now working on the handles. I'm still trying to figure out how to line it. And my mom is going to help me with the lining as well as installing a zipper.

One of the reasons I chose to knit the pattern was so that I could practice seaming. I'm terrible at sewing seams and want to improve before making a sweater. Installing a zipper would also be good practice since there is a cardigan pattern I really like that includes a zipper.

My next two projects are socks. I've already made three pairs of socks, so I'm too worried about those.

Long time

I haven't updated in awhile. I did finish the handles on the felted bag.

I've started Zeeby's Bag. I really dislike how my stitches are looking, but I'm going to finish and then block and hopefully it will work in the end. I didn't care as much about how the stitches looked on the felted bag because I know that they won't really show after felting.

I have a really difficult time liking what I knit sometimes. I enjoy the process of knitting, I just don't always like the project in how it looks. I always feel that my knitting doesn't look as nice as it could.
