![The Irish have a phrase anamchara which means soul friend. I’d like to wish the happiest of birthdays to a soul friend.
I appreciate her support of my writing journey and how she’s always game to chat about my shifter romances.
I also love that she never seems to get enough of me and that feeling is mutual.
She sings, dances, hikes, makes balloon animals, takes brilliant photos, and writes poetry. I admire the way she parents. And yes, she can knit.
Perhaps more than anything, I treasure the laughs we’ve shared.
@marz1pan , you had me at hello! Happy Birthday!!!

This past May, I was spending quite a bit of time at the vet office. So, I cast on plain black socks for The Husband because that suited my mood at the time. When they had Sydney in the back running tests, I would occupy my mind with stitch after stitch and not think about worst case scenarios. Thankfully, Sydney pulled through and is ALMOST 100%.
Here she is doing her Monet impression with her stuffed dragon.
…and The Husband opted for purple heels in his plain black socks. This was super exciting because I’m not a plain black sock kind of girl and he is very much a plain black sock kind of guy. 
A happy healthy dog and finished purple heeled socks for The Husband. My cup runneth over!
Ps. I ravelryed my details for the 12W size if you are interested in that type of info.
Pps. Check out what other folks have finished at Tami’s Amis and Fiber Arts Friday!

Yay for healthy puppies and finished socks! That’s an excellent combination, for sure. Enjoy both!
You know it!!!
I’m so happy hear your furry baby pulled through and is doing well! The purple heel is a great addition to your black socks! They look super cozy!
Thanks. The Husband seems to like them, so I’m pleased. :)
How long did it take you to knit those socks. One pair takes me minimal a month and that is ignoring everything else.
I like the colored heel too.
Glad your dog is doing good.
I worked on these socks all summer because I only worked on them at the vet office, during previews at movies and while riding in the car until I got to the purple heels. Normally a pair of socks will take me 2-3 weeks. Plain socks for The Husband or my dad take the same amount of time as complicated socks for me. Your walking on sunshine socks look quite a bit more complicated than these. very nice! : )
Fabulous socks! and that’s a pretty good looking pooch too.
Thanks so much! I’m a fan, but I’m pretty biased. :)
