Free crochet cupcake pattern

Crochet cupcake:  

Finished size: The size depends on your hook size and yarn thickness. I used a 4mm hook and 4ply 100% cotton yarns, so my cupcake approx. 5.5cm (2inches).

You will need: brown, yellow and small amount red yarn

                       fibrefill stuffing

                       different type of coloured yarn or small beads for decorations

Notes: I started the cupcake with the magic loop/adjustable ring. (video tutorial here) The cupcake is worked in continuous rounds, do not join and do not turn at beginning of rounds. A stitch marker is used to indicate the beginning of rounds. Move marker up as each round is completed.

Handspinning

Last week I was on a handspinning course at the Hilltop Spinning and Weaving Centre. I have met a very nice and helpful couple, who did teach me how to use the spinning wheel, who to carding, dyeing and everything what I could use at handspinning. This is my first own-made handspinned yarn:

I am pleased with my first yarn and very happy to meet Sue and Bill. I am sure that we will keep in touch in the future. Pleased to refer their online shop which has a lot of exciting features regarding spinning, weaving and dyeing. We have bought my first spinning wheel an Ashford Kiwi, a big box of fleeces, and I am hoping to make lot of nice yarn in the future with it.
