With Twinkie Chan’s Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies, crochet aficionados can have their cupcakes and wear them, too.

The cute founder of her own popular line of food-inspired fashions, Twinkie Chan has crocheted foodie favs such as strawberry fingerless mittens, a chocolate cupcake that complete with a cherry on top, and even a coconut-lemon cake tissue box cozy–and you can learn how to make all these here.

This evening, Twinkie (aka Stephanie Lee) herself shares some visual demonstrations and inspirations. Also, raffle tickets given out to anyone who buys a book–win one of three Twinkie-created scarves! Also, there’ll be cupcakes to munch on!

THE BOOK: She’s promoting a new book with “recipes” for food-themed scarves that feature sushi, salad, gingerbread men, buttered toast, eggs and bacon, ice-cream cones, popcorn boxes, and more. In three sections — Sweet Things, Fruits and Veggies, and Savory Stuff — and complete with an illustrated how-to section, lists of “ingredients” for each project, easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions, full-color photos and illustrations. Twinkie’s book gives both beginning and experienced crafters impetus to make these quirky, colorful, wearable confections.
