A New Bobble Sweater ~ Yummy Colors

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited! I just finished another Bobble Sweater for Melanie. :) It is our 41st birthday next week, and I just could not resist making her another one.

I quizzed her on her current favorite colors when we were away on craft weekend and could not wait to get started.

It reminds me of delicious chocolate cupcake with icing!








A perfect birthday sweater don't you think?!
Happy early birthday Melanie!


I have also been working on some new squares for the Knit-A-Square Charity October Challenge. The theme is to use up our current stash of yarn which is perfect after all of these sweaters I have been making.
I have lots of little center pull skeins that I have been winding up in all sorts of colors.
I will show you what I have been up to tomorrow. :)

Hi Melissa! I love this sweater and Melanie is going to love it too. What are you guys going to do for your birthday? It must be neat to have a twin.

I can't wait to see the new squares tomorrow.

So I am the luckiest person on the planet to have Melissa! I just love to read all of her wonderful blog friends postings everyday and have you appreciate her for her generosity and creativity too! She shares her gifts so beautifully. You might have guessed that we are not very good at saving gifts until the b-day itself. They seem to slip into each others hands all during the month of October. But we do seem to save at least one thing to give each other on the day too which is the 27th. I have been wearing my sweater since she gave it to me yesterday. Thank you Missy!
