![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!!!

When it comes to Hunter Hammersen’s patterns, I tend to be a bit of a fangirl. I haven’t made a Team Hunter T-shirt yet, but don’t think I haven’t considered it.
I’ve been admiring these grayish socks on her blog for months….to the degree that I contacted her to see when the pattern might be out (I may have a problem). There was a moment when she thought I was peaking in her windows to see what she was knitting, but it turns out these lace socks are just more light blue than gray in real life. Nevertheless, I’m sure there are days when she’s comforted by the fact that I live in Texas.
Fast forward. She called for testers and check out what’s on my needles!

As long as you don’t have any Kathy Bates, Misery moments, we’re in good shape. :-D
The socks look like they’re going to be beautiful!
I’m pretty pleased with them, thank you.
I don’t have near the presence of Kathy Bates. That movie scares me enough that I’ve never seen the whole thing.
woohoo! those socks are amazing. love the yarn you are using.
MadTosh yarn is addictive. You’ve been warned.
see, and on my monitor they originally looked green.
glad to know they’re being test-knit, and looking forward to seeing yours!
I’m already thinking about a second pair in light gray…. :)
I don’t know Hunter Hammersen. I will go and check out her work, because these socks are really nice!!
Thanks for sharing!
Do check her books out. Her patterns are divine.
Very pretty!
gracias!
I’m a FanGirl too! I’ve queued up Ensnared and matched up the yarn. I’m hoping to cast on next week. Your socks are gorgeous, and the yarn colour is to die for!
ohhhh. Can’t wait to see your Ensnareds!
That sock is gorgeous! Sometimes being a stalker, er, fangirl has it’s benefits:)
Thank you! I can’t wait to wear them.
WOW!! Gorgeous and so impressive! I am loving your site!
Thanks so much.
