Firstly welcome to all newbies, congratulations on all finishes and well done on all progress (I don't have time to read all the posts
)I know I've been absent for a little while, fortunately for happy reasons. The happy reasons also mean I'm going to be rather intermittent in the immediate future too, though I'll try and pop in every so often.
First happy reason - we've finally moved into our permanent house
Absolutely loving all the space and our toddler adores the much larger garden. My knitting needles have mysteriously gone missing but otherwise everything is going well. However the garden is a jungle and various bits of decorating need to be done which is taking up rather a lot of time and stash money 
Second happy reason, which will definitely occupy me even more... The
is on its way to our house again . Number 2 will be arriving in February We're very excited, but the only problem for me and pregnancy is that stitching makes me feel sick So I'm desperately trying to find those knitting needles as I can knit and I've found I can do hardanger without feeling too rotten, so I'll try and keep up with Mabel's SAL, but everything else is having to wait.
It's great to see you back and congrats on your soon to be new addition to the family! I do hope you manage to find your knitting needles soon and we all look forward to seeing photos of your projects!
Congrats on moving in to the new house and sounds like it is just in time as you will be needing more room in the future. Congratulations of course on the future addition to your family I do hope you will be able to stop in now and then to give us progress reports and pictures as well.
