Yes, the day after Valentine’s Day. A much more important day. It’s Happy Surly Day!! Yep, Surly’s birthday has arrived again like clockwork.
if you have followed us at all, you know that Sally and I are besties, knitting peeps, sisties, and whatever else such a sisterhood implies. She is the smart one in the family, which landed her the dubious honor of being the executor of our dad’s estate. She has handled that thankless job tirelessly. We really appreciate her taking that on and doing so well with it. She also puts up with a lot from me on a daily basis.
Her birthday present this year wasn’t much. I sent her a Melt the Ice Hat because I knew she wasn’t going to have time to knit one herself. She looks so cute in it!!
Happy Birthday, Little Sister! Hope to see you in person soon!
Thank you!

Sisterly love is among the best there is! The hat looks great on her!

I love both patterns. I think there’s a Melt The Ice Cowl in my future – but in Violet. I’ve always wanted to be a Violet Protester. 😉 Mike
