This cake was for my mom on her 60th birthday. She is a teacher, and she knits a lot. I got the inspiration for the chalkboard from a cake by Jenn123 and the yarn basket from a cake by JankaT, although I totally ran out of time and couldn't do the knitted piece, or even enought yarn balls. never enough time *sigh*, but mom was happy! Everything is mmf, the needles have a wooden stick inside.
