Not my usual kind of cupcake creation, but I thought I would share this one anyway!
Crochet is a relatively new hobby for me, one which I was introduced to by a friend who is fantastic at creating all sorts of things, just take a look at her crochet coral paradise on my crochet coral reef cake post.
With my love of all things cake, once I had stumbled on a pattern to make crochet cupcakes I knew it was only a matter of time (I found this pattern yesteday, I made half of it last night, and got up at 6:30 am to finish it before work this morning.... dedication bordering on obsession) before I was making some.
Although I had a bit of a false start with this - somehow finding myself with 50 odd stitches when I was supposed to have 27 - once I had turned the TV off, and the light on, my second attempt went just fine. I would definitely recommend actually counting stitches as you go, if you are as new to this as I am!
I made this as part of a slightly larger project (to follow...) but it is so cute on it's own that I wanted to put it up whilst I am waiting on photos of the full cake and crochet ensemble.
I am enjoying my new hobby, it is a lovely sociable thing to do (well it is in our office, where we have had a lunch time crochet club started), and a good way to keep your hands busy and productive whilst chatting, or watching TV etc. Well usually that is, evidently that didn't work out for the above! But, I am in the middle of making a bag at the moment, using some very thick wool, which means it has whacking great stitches that I can't miss!
I hope my post brings inspiration to any closet creative people, or a bit of interest for anyone else looking for something fun to make. Thanks for reading.
