Happy National Donut Day!
You heard me. It’s the first Friday in June, which means … National Donut Day!
Celebrate with one of these free donut patterns to knit or crochet [ravelry links]:

Today is ALSO the first day of voting in the Netflix Find Your Voice Indpendent Film Competition. My friend Eric Lin is a semifinalist, so take a minute to go watch the excerpt from his film (”Why We Pull the Trigger”) and give it 5 stars! (ETA: voting will be open until July 5.)
If Eric wins, he gets $350,000 in resources to make his film. Eric got married last weekend, and I turned 31 on Wednesday — your 5 stars can be your gift to us. Thanks! xoxo

For me, the donut tastes great going down, then about 5 minutes later I feel like there is a rock in my stomach. Ugh. So I’ll have to pass.
Happy birthday!

Why, oh why did no one tell me about this national day of goodness. I really must come out of my shell more often. Good luck with the voting and happy belated Birthday.

Your friend is currently ranked 10th! Post the link again. I’ll post it on my Twitter account later today when I get a chance. And reach out to the knitters on Ravelry to help. They helped my friend Gale Zucker become a semi-finalist in a contest.
