Yep, after being unable to find a messenger bag or sling backpack that i was happy with for the new semester i started knitting my own!  It's all done now in Lion Brand thick & chunky in Denim and going to be reversible with matching courderoy.  I need to sew the lining and then put them together.  The project will cost about $40 when all is said and done but it's my own creation.
Other projects that are almost done:  my ecru newsboy cap and my coffee brimmed beanie.
