goodknits gracious!

these came out so cute I could punch somebody. I made ~3 dozen. They’re packaged and ready for my boys’ birthday party tomorrow!

(devil’s food cake mixed with cream cheese frosting for the insides)

I finished the cupcakes for my boys’ birthday party (this weekend!). I made 14 and am thinking of making one or two more, in case we get any surprise guests.

I recycled yogurt cups, so these actually are little containers! see?

I began working on these yesterday afternoon, crocheting whenever I had a little break. they’re surprisingly quick to make. I’ll be using some yogurt cups to make little containers [for candy, i think] as party favors for the boys’ birthday party next month. I’m undecided on the base. my first thought was to crochet them with some brown (chocolate cupcakes, anyone?) yarn, but my aunt said i should just use some decorative paper. that would be easiest, but I like the cushy feeling of yarn cupcakes!

he turned 1, last Wednesday.

whaaaaat? yeah.

another one! this time, for a girl. my cousin’s fetus, to be exact.

Nathan picked these up for me on his walk with my mom today. they wilted in his sweaty little palms.

…sort of. he likes to stand and cruise along things. he still can’t crawl, though! hrrmmph.

started: March 9
yarn: Caron Simply Soft Eco in Forest Floor.

modifications: I placed the sleeve stitches on holders and continued down the body part. I stopped buttonhole placement after the first 3 on the yoke. I plan on knitting the sleeves in the round.

it was almost 8PM when I realized I hadn’t taken a photo for the day. clocking in approximately 30 minutes in nap time for the entire day, he was obviously grumpy and not up for taking photos.
