missy42's Cupcake (original) (raw)

March 28, 2010 Don’t know yet if I want to make this into an amigurumi-type cupcake or a small coin-purse-like bag. Mostly, it’s just to use up the last of the Sping Swirl, so it may depend on how far that will go.

Also, these front-post half-double crochets take forever to stack up!

July 6, 2010 This turned out to be the funkiest looking amigurumi cupcake I’ve ever seen! The sides turned out great, but the top…. I really think I should have looked at a pattern!

For the most part, though, people I showed it to could still figure out what it was, which was somewhat encouraging. I figured I’d try to sell it at this year’s Anime Expo, thinking that even though I thought it was wacky-looking, maybe someone would like it enough to purchase it. Turns out, I was wrong. Ah, well.

July 9, 2010 Finally got some pictures. Maybe I shouldn’t have taken them next to real cupcakes. I thought it was a cute idea, but it the crochet one seems even more funky-lookin’ next to real thing. And the colours never did come out right.
