Surprise visits are the best kind as you don' have to stress about everything or work yourself in to a flurry to make everything just right!! But my favorite thing about this post has to be THAT sweater! It is the cutest darn thing I've seen in a long while! Despite what you say about it being pretty easy to knit, it still looks pretty intimidating to me. Also, I love the meaning of those re-purposed buttons. "Owl" leave it there!Barbara Eadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428834142056450340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-28217057179906160672016-12-06T10:06:15.168+00:002016-12-06T10:06:15.168+00:00Oh my GOSH!
