new pattern

I have finally finished (started last summer) my new pattern - Sweet Treats.


It is four patterns in one, containing instructions on how to knit a slice of cheesecake, cherry pie, chocolate cake and birthday cake. I have had comments regarding my birthday cake/gateau pattern, that the slices when knitted up are too large. Taking this on board these slices are a smaller version.
You could even knit yourself a whole cake if you wanted as eight slices make up a whole chocolate cake.


The pattern is for sale as from today on my etsy shop or if you are a member on Ravelry.
Oh dear I feel the need for a cuppa and a sugar binge! Ali.

    I knit up your patterns in DK yarn and had no problem re size of finished items, so can't relate to the "complaints" you received.

    1. Hi, It wasnt a problem with the gauge in the pattern, more the finished size was bigger than a real slice of cake, I thought it would be a good idea to have a chunky piece of cake for small hands, but some disagreed, ali

  4. A slice of cake that's too big - surely not! And the slice of lemon is really good.
    Ali, I found the water soluble Avalon good to stitch on - first time using it.
