Marlies, maybe it’ll comfort you to know that my husband also didn’t have contact with his daughter for a long time. When his granddaughter turned 4, that fortunately changed, and he was very happy about it. In the meantime, he’s also talked things through with his daughter—everything’s been sorted out.

I wish the same for you with all my heart!

Tina, a pet is just as dear to our hearts as a child. Your cat was probably looking for an adventure and got to know the world a little better. Loving also means letting go… and that’s what hurts the most. I’m so glad she’s back! :-)

Wow, Ida, that’s such a lovely way to put it! :-)

Yeah, I think “unruly” fits best, too. I just finished a piece with that kind of yarn, and it looks great. Now I’m really glad I finally got around to working on it.

June was great—I took plenty of time to knit and design new projects.

In July, I want to finish writing a few patterns and complete two projects I’ve already started. Maybe I’ll come up with even more ideas...

I’ll be continuing with my color project today; I just finished my June project—a vest with vertical stripes—this morning. I’ll also work on the pattern today.

Dear Michaela,

I wish you all the very best and every happiness for the year ahead, and hope you’re celebrating today with lovely guests and lots of treats.

Warm regards
Monika

Happy birthday, and here’s to a wonderful new year filled with all the best that life has to offer.
