So, what's on deck for 2012? I plan to make many of the bags from this book that I received for Christmas: 

Sew Serendipity Bags by Kay Whitt

I've cast on for a baby sweater, I plan to knit a skirt for myself and finish the knit hoodie that I started awhile back. I am also knitting another afghan with my LYS, but need to seam up the blocks made in the 2011  BOM. I know there will be more scarves, mitts and socks as requested by my family....I'm so lucky that they love and appreciate my handknits.

Here's to another year of wishes for good health, happiness, and lots of time to do the things we love!
