Well, a couple of years ago I got Twinkie Chan's book "Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies" and I crocheted three cupcake scarves for my friends (you can read about them here: Twinkie Chan Scarves!) After I finished theirs, I started making my own, but never finished it. For almost two whole years it sat in my stash.
I was only one cupcake and cherry away from having the right amount. I even started sewing them together, but for some reason I just gave up.Weird. (It's actually not that weird for me. I do it all the time. I'm a procraftinator. I procrastinate by crafting and procrastinate doing my crafting that needs done.)
Well, better late than never right? I finished this pretty in two nights and I'm very happy with it! (And it fits in perfectly with my blog decor! lol)
What kind of sweet (or food) would you love to see as a crochet/knit scarf or other kind of accessory?
Adorkable! And I absolutely love that sweater paired with it (or by itself).
ReplyDeleteI want one!!! My husband and I crochet! I've made a few beanies and scarves so far...I need to finish a blanket though.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great!! I personally can't crochet, but I think I could convince my gram to make this for me. :)
ReplyDeleteIf she needs a pattern, Twinkie Chan posted this cupcake garland online and it's not much different from her scarf pattern! You just need to sew them together and make cherries and add miniature pom-poms. http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2011/03/how-to-crochet-your-own-cupcake-garland-diy-tutorial-by-twinkie-chan-giveaway/
ReplyDeleteThe book is definitely worth the buy! Eventhough the price online looks insane! (I got mine for $15 in a bookstore.) But if you want to go the cheap way she posted this cupcake pattern online: http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2011/03/how-to-crochet-your-own-cupcake-garland-diy-tutorial-by-twinkie-chan-giveaway/
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is sew them together, sew on cherries and add pom-poms! :)
Thank you! :D It's my favorite! I think everything looks good with a nerd bunny sweater, personally! lol.
ReplyDeleteI can't crochet or craft to save my life, so I am staring at this in awe! You've done such a cute unique job! Very adorable accessory :)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much! :)
