New laptop bag

I have been wanting a better bag for schlepping my laptop (and other various crap--including knitting!) to and from work.
I found a fabulous tutorial for the Hip Mama Diaper Bag and... Viola!





This pattern was very well written and easy to follow. The only mod I made was to omit the addition of one of the pocket panels on the inside of the bag. I used some Amy Butler fabric I got on sale. One could easily omit a few more of the pockets to save on time/complication and fabric, if necessary. I definitely recommend this pattern.

And here is some yarn that I finished spinning a while back from some roving I stole from the ol' sister.


It's pretty, but as is usually the case with my handspun, there is not really enough to knit much of anything with. Plus, I don't really want to knit it. It's so pretty as a skein. Maybe someday.
