I knitted more cupcakes and Added Sprinkles
I finally added some glass beads to this cupcake and it looks great.  This is the same pattern as the ones before.  It is a freebie at Chloe and Spud Blog, but is knit by Susan B. Anerson.  Here is the freebie Cupcake-Pincushion.  Now the one above I used Dk yarn and knit on #3 US needles.  I also didn't add the pin cushion inside.  Using a smaller needle and yarn then the pattern made it smaller.  
Isn't it pretty with the beads?
Okay, I knitted another and used the DK yarn or Knit Picks Shine sport weight.  For me I get the same gauge as patterns that require DK yarn.  This time I used #2 US, just to make it a little smaller.  Now this makes it just slightly smaller.
I do believe I will knit a cherry for the top.
The beads look even better than the picture shows.  Give it a try.  They are alot of fun.
I am finishing up a bear right now.  I will post that one soon.
