Luckily Twinkie Chan has bought out a great crochet book that shows you how to make your own cupcake scarf as well as other projects so I could get my cake fix without wrecking my diet. Some would say it would be torture making tons of cupcakes as a constant reminder of what I can't have, but they were so fun to make I didn't notice.
I used Merino blend wool so it's nice and soft and used multi-coloured bamboo yarn for the sprinkle. It made up really quickly but didn't look that great until it was finished. There's a few other projects in the book that I want to try especially the popcorn scarf.
The book is nice and colourful, plus easy to follow despite the patterns being American. I had a look at what other people had done on Ravelry and there were lots of variations of colours of the cupcakes and I can't believe I didn't consider playing with the colour myself. Someone had done a blue and white variation which I really liked and might consider making more with some different colours in future.
