![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!!!

These mitts were a really nice break from the bad sock mojo I seemed to have this summer. I did go up .25 mm on the needle size after I got gauge and they are a skosh tight, but the lace really pops, so they’re perfect.
You know what’s not perfect? trying to take pics of your own hands in mitts (yes, I took the picture above). Thankfully, Meghan helped out and we got some better shots.
You may be wondering why I didn’t draft The Husband. At the time I decided to take pictures, he was knee-deep in the World of Warcraft. It’d be like trying to talk me into doing a photo shoot whilst I’m counting 1200 stitches…for the fifth time.

Love them! So classy, yet so bright and lively. I give up on trying to get photos taken by the family! I just use my daughters dress mannequin.
