The weekend is over (well nearly!)

Hi Everyone,

Hope you’ve all ahd a fab weekend. I haven’t had much time to do knitting this weekend (what’s new?). However, I did visit my cousin today. You may recall me saying that I made a knit kit for her birthday. Well, she’s been getting on really well with the scarf, not many holes at all. I was actually really impressed. Anyway, everyone’s been giving her a bit of a hand with it so I knit a few rows of it. That reminded me of one of the throws that was discussed in the Mason-Dixon knitting book. If I recall correctly, someone had every female member of their family knit a few squares and they made a throw out of it. This sounds like a really lovely idea and I’d love to do something like that. It would make a really special present when someone leaves to go to university, a new house or gets married. Unfortunately, I’m not sure I have that many family members to participate! Has anyone else made something special like this?

Weekend Knitting

Well, the weekend is here and the serious knitting can begin. I’m currently still trying to design a  knitted cupcake that I like. I’m doing a seamless one, on DPNs, with a cupcake case, icing and probably a cherry on top!

I was searching the net, looking for cupcake inspiration, when I found these:

Edible Knitted Cupcakes!

 

Ok, so they’re not exactly knitted, but aren’t they gorgeous? They’ve been very lovingly crafted and must have taken ages. They’re even vegan, apparently. Next time I make cupcakes, I might try and do this. I think these may be made with marzipan, but I’ll use icing because I’m not a big marzipan fan.

Have a good weekend.
