“Mommy, can you make me a sweater in this yarn for Christmas?” , might just be the most magical words I’ve heard all year! Who could blame her for asking, this bright color makes me smile too and I’d love to channel my inner Elsa too. Thankfully, this one is super tiny, so creating a cardigan before the big day was no breeze for this knitter momma, it all came together in such a delightful way. I wish you enchanted needles that can make last minute wishes come true in marvelous ways as well!
