The Knitting Basket Cake

I made this cake for my Mother's birthday. She used to knit a lot- and very fast. I remember once she gave me a surprise in the morning with a sweater she finished knitting for me overnight. Amazing lady can no longer knit since Father Time has slowed her down considerably. But this cake pays homage to her wonderful talent.

  9. Indeed a very special homage to your Mum!
    I salute your Mother and all others who still knit for their families. By the grace of God my mother knits regularly for all new born babies of the family...mostly her great grand children now.
