this afternoon i was treated to a beautiful wooden crate filled with knitted cupcakes! a wonderful surprise from katie after i commented that i would love these for my preschoolers. so weeks later, here they are…
very special is the one with the rainbow yarn…when katie and i were in college she was knitting a little blanket. years later when naomi was born that very blanket arrived in the mail…tears still fill my eyes. so now i can take these soft and pretty cupcakes to share with the many little hands i get to work with…hands that have undoubtedly felt too much plastic and not enough yarn! so thank you again, katie, thank you…click here to see katie’s other cupcakes!
“eat dem, mama? eat dem?”

I love being able to see their arrival! you’re most welcome. I giggled just about every time I worked on them, enjoying the surprise I was cooking up!

I’ve never seen such a thing! They look so yummy, and I’ll bet they were quite a trick to knit!

Actually, if you’ve ever made socks, these would be a breeze!

Really? I could probably knit socks in my sleep by now, but I always run when I see novelty yarn. I love the cupcakes though!

this was the first time i used novelty yarn. i don’t tend to like it, but for a project like this, it was great! if you want to make some cupcakes, look for the book called “One Skein”. i bet you can get it at the library. great ideas for using scrap yarn!
