To frog or not to frog?

Still plodding on with the jumper, the gauge does not seem quite right but having knitted just over half the back I am not relishing the prospect of ripping it all back so am keeping on going and hoping that it'll all come good in the end. I think this may be a bit wishful thinking somehow, but I've heard blocking can stretch the yarn a little and I could always just hold my breath whilst wearing it.

So although I promised myself I wouldn't start another project until I completed this one I have fallen in love with a bag I found on Ravelry and just have to make it.

Knitting Needle Knitting Bag

I love how knitting needles are used to create the handles. I have some old wooden needles my grandma gave to me and I really like the idea of having them incorporated into a bag, somehow it seems nicer than actually using them. Now everytime I am knitting something I will think of my grandma, regardless of which needles I'm using.

I'm undecided on which colour to choose though, I'm not really a bright coloured person so I think I might go for a nice green and get some nice lining for it too if I can master sewing. Hopefully going to cast on tonight...the anticipation is so exciting.
