My first attempt at knitting without a pattern

This is my second ever finished project! I learned how to knit in December and I've been obsessed. I planned out the overall idea for this handbag and then improvised once I got started. I'm absolutely thrilled with the result. Right now I'm debating on whether to give this to my wife or keep it for myself even though I don't think I'll use it often. Yarn is James C Brett Marble, knitted on 4.5 mm needles

Is it worth upgrading my cheap Chinese bike?

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask. I decided to start commuting by bike as it's only about 15 minutes each way. So I got my first bike and learned how to ride. It's a cheap Chinese MTB from my country's version of amazon. This was a few months ago now. Since then I've been riding almost everyday and taking longer trips along the river trail near my home.

So I'm thinking about getting a lower end Shimano groupset. But I'm wondering what I'll get out of upgrading. Will there be a noticeable difference in performance? Smoother shifting? More speed in top gear?

Thanks for any insight you can share :) any essential gear recommendations would be great too!
