Growing

[vaneramos]

In my six years on LJ she has grown from a little girl to a young woman. Brenna turned 16 a couple weeks ago. She has some challenges to face this year, but with her sense of humour intact and a boyfriend who is gentle, kind, and a listener (they have been dating 18 months, and what more could I expect from a 17-year-old who has won her affection?), I have high hopes for her.

The three most important people in my life have their birthdays within a month, and with Christmas approaching I am busily knitting. Not much time for writing. Marian turns 18 this month.

I did take time to post a tribute to Brenna on The Yarn, and another one to Danny (his birthday was Sunday). This is the hat I made for Bren using two contrasting colourways of Noro Silk Garden and a free pattern based on entrelac, from Twist Collective.
