      Yay! Yes, the inserted store-bought pincushion gives the cupcake stability to hold the pins. Is that a strawberry or a tomato? I never know: )

      Thanks for writing.

    Susan,

    I am blown away by your patterns on this site. They are very impressive. I have always loved your baby things, but the Hoot Hat
    and Baby Bartlett set are over the top, the Camp Hoodie is perfect for my 22-year old daughter, and the free pincushion pattern finally gives me a reason to knit a cupcake. Congratulations!

      Thank you, Judy!

      S & C is all about fun and I plan to have lots of it with simply my yarn and needles. I can’t wait to start sharing more of the fun I have stashed up my sleeve.

    Susan…you are such a talented designer!

    You are very clever how you concealed a “real” pin cushion inside the cupcake pincushion!

    I can’t wait to buy some S & C yarns and whip one up…with a cherry on top!
