Don't worry, I'm not about to assign the years of my life to various body parts. But the Saga of the Broken Ankle, which started last January, coloured the events of 2006. I found myself going down different paths from the ones I'd anticipated. I wish I could say thatit's all been wonderful, but it hasn't. There have been some really good parts and some totally crappy ones, with lots of so-so bits inbetween. But that's Life, isn't it?
And despite the crappy bits (which are still happening), I am able to be thankful for my lovely children, who have grown into adults whom I really like, and would like even if they weren't related to me; my family who are always there to help when I need it; and the continuing kindness and support of my friends, most of whom don't live anywhere near me as I kept moving away. I'm also grateful for my blogging community, whom I haven't met in person, but I feel like I know you all anyway. Keep commenting! I love it.
I have dubbed 2007 "The Year of the Wool", as this will be my big focus. To start as I mean to go on, I've dyed some wool/mohair blend that I bought at the Op Shop. It was a pale grey to start with, and is now four shades of purple with gold highlights.

I'd like to wish you a very healthy and creative new year Shirley. I hope your ankle will not give you any mopre problems in 2007. It's been great getting to know you over this last year. Magsyvmqlsu

I hope that 2007 brings you nothing but good. Sometimes there really are years like that. I never thought of dyeing op shop yarn. I may have to give that a try one of these days.
Beautiful yarn! Hope you have a very healthy and happy 2007.
I hope you have a very healthy 2007 and I'm looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful yarn. This one is lovely! Love the gold highlights.
