The cupcake stitch? Wow, that's sweet! You're making me hungry!
Thanks for featuring my cupcake in a jar (#9). This is my all time favorite dessert! You have to give it a try and let me know what you think. =)

Tamara, These certainly are sweet! For the #3 Cupcake Cradle Purse, is that the one you said you made and if so, what brand/type/color name yarn is the Variegated Pink? I've been trying to find it without success. Sure would love your help, please! Thanks!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Arlene! That was the one I made, yes! Unfortunately, that yarn was a one-off sold at Target of all places, about 10 years ago. I've never even seen it since!
