Hi there! Happy 2013! I know we're nearly at that time when it's too late to say happy new year, so I'll make sure I get that out of the way.
I have a bunch of FOs for 2012 that I must put together into posts and I promise I'll do it soon. But first is a post long overdue...

After weeks of waiting for some outward sign, now I feel like each day I look different!
Ironically Partner completed the first FO for Wiggle, but don't think Mama hasn't been working on some handknits too!
Who knows, maybe there are two new knitters in the house...
