![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!!!

A local yarn shop review.
I was asked if I needed help when I entered the shop, but felt like I was interrupting the knitting group that was going on. Honestly, the whole group was giving off a pretty unhappy vibe for ladies knitting in a yarn shop in the middle of the day on a Thursday. Or maybe I looked a bit too Austin hippy for their taste in my flip flops, frayed jeans and T-shirt (Texas “winters” rock). Either way, I was able to get the help I needed finding a few things I’ve not seen previously. I bought:
Fiesta Baby Boom – Sun Face (first orange I’ve purchased with the intention to knit socks for myself)
Viking of Norway Nordlys superwash – 957 aka purple/pink. (I would have preferred the blue, but it was too smurfy).
sorry about the quality - I realized the glare was BAD later.

I’m sorry it wasn’t a great experience. Hooray for new yarn though!
No worries. I like to try new shops. You reminded me that I wanted to post yarny pics, so those’ll be up tomorrow!
I have a yarn store not too far from me that gives off that same kind of vibe!! I love to check out new yarn stores in every town I visit. One of my all time favorites is Hill Country Weavers, right in your neck of the woods. Lucky you!
I think the biggest put off for me at a LYS was a couple of years ago I walked into one (that is no longer in business) and the owner was smoking in the shop. I never went back.
