Knitting Pretty

In my first blog, just last week, I mentioned that I like food... I like foods that I shouldn't really eat that much of, but still do anyway.  I currently have four candy obsessions... funnily enough, they are all from the same company.  I am going to go through why I like those particular ones right now, because what's the next best thing to eating candy? Talking about candy! Okay so I will outline my four current favorite candies, and then link to today's pattern! 

Blackcurrant Pastilles: These are lovely little soft - but still kind of hard - lollies with grains of sugar on the outside. I have always loved purple lollies, they have a great flavor, be it grape, blackcurrent, or blackberry.

Fabulicious Raspberry Twister: This is a fairly new one, for my candy repertoire, but I really like raspberry flavor, and I really like the squishy but tough thing going for these twists. Sort of like raspberry licorice, but a little chewier, I think.

Berry Tingles: These are quite difficult to find, and quite new out too. They are like your regular Fruit Tingles, but they are all berry flavored! I love berry flavors, and grape flavor too.

Longlasting Gobstopper: This is my absolute favorite candy currently. I love these things, they take you ages to eat, which is fun, and even the ones that I wouldn't normally like - the lemon flavored ones - are still nice! I love sitting there cracking away at a box of these, so tasty! I most like the green and purple ones, apple and grape flavored respectively, I think.

Today's pattern must absolutely reflect today's post! This is a free one, though you will need an account with Ravelry. Frankly, if you are a knitter, and you don't have a Ravelry log in... GET ONE!!!  It is a fabulous site, totally addictive, that allows you to browse through many, many, knitting patterns from all over the web, and all over the world. So here is a link to a cute little candy corsage. I haven't actually made this one myself, yet, but I am excited to give these a try.
