Happy Dance Time!
I love it!
Daisy Chain Scarf from Jan Knits.
Crocheted with Koigu KPM and Plymouth Yarns Sockotta. (3.5mm hook – I think).
UKSwap question 4 is about our favourite Valentine’s Day memory. What is it about questions like that that make my mind go a total blank. I’m not that big on Valentine’s Day. Too much pressure, too much cynical marketing, too much expectation leading to disappointment. There was the year I received a wonderful card, with a poem, written by the post-grad who sent it to me. It was very touching, and the perfect Valentine’s card – only problem was that I simply wasn’t interested, which rather tarnishes the memory.
I suppose the best memory was just over 6 years ago, mid-January, having a coffee with a friend in the local Supermarket, and realising that all the Valentine’s Day stuff was on the shelves, and that by the time Valentine’s Day arrived my life would have turned upside down as I would have had a baby. And indeed on 8th Feb Adam arrived. (And in all the chaos I managed to arrange for a gift for John for Valentine’s Day – I’m not certain, but that could have been the last time I did so… )
But that means we’ve had a birthday in the family – which means a cake – here it is:
We’re getting a nice little tradition going – I bake the cake, John does the decorating. This year the success of the decoration far-exceeded the success with the cake, which was close to inedible. (The children ate it anyway – it was sweet… )

Hello, it’s me. Lurve the daisy chain scarf, it’s really sweet. And the cake! What a fabulous cake, (I’ve found taste is often irrelevant with children, in lots of ways and have the photos to prove it…
which reminds me, I need to get my thinking cap on, it’ll be Conall’s birthday soon!

So. No. Gah. Anyway, happy belated birthday, Adam! And evidently your cake was somewhat edible. Cute at least. Cute daisy chain scarf too.Carrie K () (link) - 15 February '08 - 20:59
That is a very cool cake, however it tasted!E-J () (link) - 16 February '08 - 22:44
The cake looks amazing and the scarf is yet another addition to my “garments of Anne’s that I may have to steal one day” list… (NB I have never ever stolen anything in my life, and don’t intend to start now, but you just make such covetable things and in my colours, too).rosie () (link) - 21 February '08 - 00:05
