FINALLY got started!!

I've lost track of when I am supposed to have posted on here, but here goes anyway. I have been agonising over bag patterns for what feels like ages. Everything I looked at wasn't quite right, or I couldn't decide on the right yarn, or I couldn't find the right yarn for it. I had decided that I would definitely use yarn from my stash rather than buying it - and as I have a LARGE STASH that isn't being mean, it's just something I have been trying hard to do all year. I knew I could knit something really nice from my stash, it was just a question of what. After much, much thinking, I have decided not to do a felted bag, but this ... Tasha from Knitty ... as I have had some Rowan Denim maturing in the stash for ages, and it struck a chord with something my pal said in her questionnaire. I only started it last night but it looks like it will knit up quite quickly. I am planning to line it, which isn't in the pattern, but I want to chose some nice fabric (also from the stash, I have a fabric stash too!) that complements the denim look. It won't be a huge bag, but my pal didn't say anything about size, and I think it will be really pretty. If I have time I am hoping to make a pin or something to put on it as well.
