Out With the Old

Happy 2012, everyone! 

I can't remember the last time I was so happy to see a calendar turn.  Here's a quick look back at 2011:

There was a little bit of rodeo:


A vest that didn't turn out so well... 

And a shawl that turned out a whole lot better than expected:


I got my heart broken:


Then patched:


And finally healed (Hooray!):



I conquered my fear of stranded colorwork:

Met Ysolda (in a really badly lit room):

P1030818

And consequently knit a sweater that actually fit me:

I even climbed a mountain:

It's been quite a year, and honestly one of the hardest I can remember.  Here's hoping 2012 holds nothing but happiness and good things for all of us!
