Choco-Peanut Butter Bites
YaYaLovesToKnit, December 27, 2015 When you just need to satisfy a sweet-tooth, mix a spoonful of mini chocolate chips and a bit of powdered sugar with peanut butter. Spread (or mound) on bread or crackers. You can eat it right at the kitchen counter. Clean up quickly, being sure to wipe the corners of your mouth and no one will ever know! The colors of this yarn brought to mind this little treat. The subtle little "squares" look like they could be popped off for snacking. This cowl can be knit using a single colorway throughout or with a 2nd color as the top and bottom garter-stitch borders. A super-easy project that's easy to tote around for those little knitting moments that occur during your day.
