You Say “Goodbye”

So long, 2008.

You were a pretty good year as far as these things go. We got an Ellie.

I made 24 CounterPain Squares.

I discovered the identity of the Mysterious Cookie Swap Winner: (blogless) Lori in Ohio! Hi, Lori!

There was other knitting and yarn and contests and races and new friends and a lot of great old ones. Some other good things and some other bad things happened. Much the same as every year.

And now I am ready to see what’s next.

    Happy new year to your and your family!

    Getting an Ellie will put 2008 at the top of the best year list.

    I have been trying to find out more about the Counter Pain Squares – when did you start them, what is the pattern, how many do you have to make, do you have an earlier post explaining them?
