Let them eat cake!

Calories Zero, Fiber 100%. My first attempt at knitted cupcake. I used the pattern from the blog "Blah, Blah, Blahhhg" with a few modifications from another Ravelry knitter and then a few modifications of my own. The frosting is made out of Caron Charming in Raspberry. I thought it looked like frosting with sprinkles.

I think it would be neat to fill a whole cake plate with knitted cupcakes for the center of the table and see how long it takes people to realize how low cal they really are. This was a fun little knitting project but the yarn I used for the frosting was a bit difficult at the end when you start K2tog.

On to my next pair of socks. The yarn is really red but doesn't show well in the picture. These are socks for my son and my first attempt at two at a time. The pattern is from the Knitting Circles around Socks by Antje Gillingham. The pattern is called "Cabled Corn" and its being knit with Reynolds Soft Sea Wool. Yes its 100% wool so I won't be able to machine wash but I really wanted red and so did my son. I wonder how long it will be before I accidently felt these...
