Obsession: Birthday Cake

Oh come on, admit it. You’re obsessed with birthday cake, aren’t you?

I know I am.

Jillian is.

And I know for certain that Amy is – particularly adorable  little birthday cupcakes.

And today, our lovely Amy, our editor in chief, gets to indulge her passion…

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... happy birthday dear Amy, happy birthday to you!

For today it is HER BIRTHDAY!

Sending happy birthday wishes and hugs and kisses and cupcakes with extra sprinkles.

 

It’s a big birthday, a decade birthday – Amy might be feeling a little like this about it

Birthday!

because turning 20 is hard. So leave her your Happy Birthday wishes in the comments!

    Happy Birthday, Amy! The decade birthday (which I am facing myself this weekend, and it’s a bigger decade than yours) is only a number, but it does give us pause, to look back, to look forward, and to try to finetune a few things.

    You are celebrating in style, enjoy every minute of the day!

    Happy Birthday! Thanks for all of the hard work you put in to making knitty such a success. I bet the entire knitting world adores it as much as I do!

    Happy Birthday Amy! I feel strangely proud that you’re celebrating here in the UK and hope that London can show you as good a time as Knitty has shown me over the years!

    Happy Birthday Amy!!!

    Thank you for giving us knitty!! For that, I think when you eventually get to 29 you should stay there!! I did…and when you pass 29, you’ll be 29 for over a year! 8*)

    It was a bit iffy when I got to be 29 for over a decade or 2!! But I just ignore it. 8*)

    It’s not how long you’ve been on this Earth…it’s what you DO while your here that counts!! 8*)

    Happy birthday!

    I think cake is a wonderful, perfectly acceptable thing to be obsessed over. I hope your birthday allows you to get a bit more delicious cake and enough leftovers for a happy week or two to come.

    happy birthday Amy! Thanks so much for being on the planet, for creating this wonderful supportive community and for providing an interesting spot to go to every morning with coffee and toast and my reliable computer. No matter the number, you look terrific.

    Happy Birthday Amy – I sincerely hope they gave you a real cupcake …

    If the days are long and the years are short, then the decades are overrated.

    Enjoy each knitting day!

    Happy Birthday, Amy. Hope you receive lots of presents–thanks for giving all of us the presents of Knitty and KnittyBlog throughout the year!

    Happy birthday a day late, Amy. Even though I have been knitting for over 40 years, I still learn a lot from you. And thank you for bringing us Knitty. I have knit several Knitty patterns. They are always appreciated as gifts. And I just finished Corinne and am going to keep that one for myself.

  83. Jennifer

    Happy Birthday Amy! I’m not sure what the right gift is for someone who has given the knitting world so much. all I can give you is best wishes for many many more!

    Thank you!

  86. Sue G.

    Happy Birthday Amy! Thanks so much for all you do for us. Knitty has given me so many patterns and ideas.

  87. Shannon O.

    Happy Birthday Amy! Knitty was my rabbit hole. I shudder to think I might still be knitting only dish cloths if it weren’t for you.

  90. Paula F

    Many happy returns of the day! Enjoy! Be good to yourself! from one October birthday girl to another.
