I'll find a way to alter the font so it is clearer. I hope you enjoyed the cake anyway. ~K Hi Kristin,

Haha! Instead of reading 1 and 1/4, I read 11/4. Sure I thought that was a strange number, but you never know! Also, my frosting turned out darker than this one, so it blends with the glaze. I'm sure the recipe is much better than what I made because I am still new to the baking world. I'll just have to try again sometime! Make sure you read the instructions right! Haha!

(Look for the knitting needles symbol and use the same size (in mm) hook.) This time I'm using a bigger hook, a 6mm I think, which results in a looser, bigger stitch. ~K Usually I use a 4mm hook as suggested on the yarn packet.

It's on sale at Lincraft now actually. I love it and use it a lot, it's super soft and machine washable. ~K Hi Larissa,

I don't think I'd attempt to quilt a bigger quilt with it, but I managed with this one. I found some sheets in thrift stores like Vinnies or the Salvos, but most I purchased in fat quarters from Etsy. Vintage sheet fat quarters on Etsy sell for between $1 and $3 each. ~K Hi Valli,
