Which is also present. Filled with whipped cream and covered in chocolate. (so not so light in the end) Oh, how I wish I could have some now!<br /><br />Happy Birthdays!<br /><br />I happen to love garter stitch, especially in a yarn like that. Watching all the colours play together while you make something squishy and cozy. I can see it now.
