What.  A.  Year.

The Canadian and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary.

I finally let go of my maiden name.

Spinning was added to my ever growing list of fiber-related hobbies.

My 20s left me and I turned 30.  (I’m still coming to terms with that.)

I had blue hair for 2 months.

The Canadian made his first trip out of North America.

I held a snake for the first time.

Project 365 failed miserably.

The Madre and I had an awesome time at Sock Summit.

I crossed the Canadian-American border six times.

I taught myself how to crochet.

I attended a funeral for the first time.

I stood on the Great Wall of China.

All in all, three wet felting projects, one crochet basket, 4 pieces of jewelry and seventeen knitting projects were started and finished, including my first ever sweater.

2009 was a year full of happiness and sadness, beginnings and endings, firsts and lasts.

Here’s hoping for extra health and happiness in 2010!
