I am embarking on a new Cotton 8 yarn adventure and I am diving head-first into the pinks! I say adventure, because every crochet project is an adventure with its own highlights and pitfalls. Every project comes with its own special memories and feelings.
There are a few things about this new project that excite me. The most obvious one is the colour. I have never used this much pink in any project. Partially because I am surrounded by males (both human and feline), but mostly because I have always been a blue/black/purple lover (although you wouldn’t say that from my love of using every colour under the sun).
Another exciting thing is the fact that I will be incorporating one of my favourite parts of Sophie’s Universe. Virtual cupcakes if you can guess which part I am talking about!
I will be using Scheepjes Cotton 8 and a 3.25 mm Clover Amour Crochet Hook (US D/3 UK 10). My colours are Light Pink (718), Pink (719), Fuchsia (720), Light Green (642), and Light Turquoise (622).
Yarn packs for this project are available from Wool Warehouse (includes printed pattern). For a full list of Scheepjes stockists, visit Scheepjes (NL).

I found a really cute pattern online for rows of cupcakes. I figured out pretty quick that the instructions as written turned out pretty odd looking, so I edited it and now it’s great. I also came up with a variation which I will save for another project. My blanket is in pink and mint green. Looking forward to the next CAL. I missed the last one but I was able to order the yarn and I’m expecting it to arrive any day now.

The colors are beautiful! Will you be releasing the quantity of yarn before Friday?

Thank you, Sheila. I will release the quantity as soon as I have made the last round (which should be this week).
