Big Sweet Tooth

When you use up all of the flour and sugar stored in your home, isn’t yarn the most appropriate alternate material?

Atleast that’s what I think. Neither the donut nor the cupcakes are new patterns to me, but I really don’t see how anyone could get tired of making them. Cute and easy, I could probably make two or three fuzzy pastries in a day, no problem. Although these weren’t knit up with anyone in particular in mind, they will still undoubtedly be distributed as holiday gifts within a few weeks. It never hurts to have spares, especially in case something falls through at the last minute, or unexpected people suddenly become a part of your holiday gift list.

Usually I bake up tons of sweets to hand out to these extra people, which is always graciously accepted, but I still would prefer to give out things that will last beyond the week so that they can [hopefully] be treasured, not just remembered.

With presents as sweet as these, I figure that at the very least, it would be pretty hard to forget!

    Those look so great! What did you fill yours with, I’m kind of thinking that they would make great paper weights?
