second crochet cupcake
I finally finished the other cupcake I was working on. I like it better than the tiny one. It looks more cupcakey. All the relevant pattern links are in that other post if you're interested.
I've always been envious of the crocheters who can make up designs as they go. The cupcake frosting is a first step toward getting the intuition to do this. I've been too afraid to try crochet without a pattern, but since it's impossible to see my stitches with this yarn, I was forced to just try it. It's amazing how well it works, and how much courage it gives you. For the little cupcake, I just tried to replicate the pattern. For this one, I played a bit more, like adding a picot ruffle around the edge.

cupcakes are the best, they remind me of 4th grade birthday parties!

Those are cute!
I made those just recently too -- after my third cupcake, they actually started to look good!
Yours look FAB! :)
