PS Beautiful cake!
You did a great job! Mum and us enjoyed checking out your Blog and we always learn something new!
You're most welcome!
I'm a new subscriber. I just discovered your blog when you won the Ravelry award, and I can't believe I didn't know about you sooner.
That cake rocks!
I've got the courage to alter patterns now all because of your suggestions for making knitted garments that much better. Thank you TechKnitter! BTW, love the cake :)
I'm new to knitting and I can't tell you how much this site has inspired me.
Thank you for all your great tips and tricks. Your blog helps me improve my knitting every time I read :) Beautiful cake!
You deserve it!
Woah! Amazing cake!
And loads of congrats on the recognition you've been receiving -- the fruit of *worthy* labor on your part! Enjoy!
You're such a big help to so many knitters! How did you get so smart?
At first glance, that cake had me salivating. Now I'm just in awe. You deserve the award 1000 times over.
Without a doubt, you are Knitting Genius.
One question: Did you tat the lace runner underneath the cake? It's fabulous, too.
Hi Little Old Liz: If I could tat like that THEN I'd be a genius. Sadly, my tatting always comes out all knotted up. I bought that runner and its sister at a state fair, of all places!
beautiful
Congratulations! You and your blog are beyond great.
Does anyone have the directions for HAVE SOME CAKE?
Melindaz@aol.com
Hi Melinda Z: The cake is knitted from Patton's Grace mercerized cotton, held double. The cake was started in the middle. The rate of increase is one increase, every other row, at 8 evenly placed spots around the edge (this is the default for any flat circle). The top edge is defined by a line of yarn overs, into which are afterwards woven I-cord. The holes on the side are also yarn overs, and the bottom is trimmed out with a very long I-cord, crocheted into a chain. The top decorations are also I-cord.

I know that this has been suggested before, but I think that you really ought to consider taking your information and compiling it into a book. Your instructions are so clear it really should be saved for posterity. In case you ever decide to go that direction, here is a link to a product that turns a blog into a book. www.blurb.com. I know nothing about this company, but ran across it and just wanted to let you know about it as a possible resource. Thanks again for your incredible work on this blog.
Congratulations! It's well-deserved!
thank you!!! You're so very helpful, kind and generous and you give us cake, too.
Thank you so much for this site.. You have been an enormous help!!!!!!
Yummy, what a great cake! I'm gonna need the recipe for that!
