DAY 8 CORONAVIRUS CAL

"LIFE IS WHAT YOU BAKE OF IT"

or..."All you need is love and cupcakes"

With rather a lot more hours spent in the house than usual,  I have found myself baking again; yesterday I made mini quiches, a large quiche and also peanut butter banana muffins....all from ingredients I already had.  My 20-year-old son came into the kitchen asking what I was cooking...."it smells like Christmas in here Mum!"  So,  Happy Christmas everyone! (my daughter and I are planning to stay festive and bake sausage rolls this afternoon...yum!)

44) MAKE SURE THIS IS THE WRONG SIDE (not the side with the lemons on)  Ch1, 1 dc in the same place, now work 1 dc in every stitch across.

45)  Ch2, 1 tr in same place, ch1, miss 2 sts, *2 tr in next st, 1 tr in next st, 2 tr in next st, Ch1, miss 3 sts, repeat from * to end, missing the last 2 trs and working 1 tr into the last st. Don't panic if you are 1 or 2 sts out here just adjust evenly so that you end up with a tr at the end.

46) Ch1, 1 dc FLO (front loop only) in same place, *1dc in next ch-1-sp, 1 dc FLO in each of the next 5 sts, repeat from * to end. DO NOT DO THIS ROW TIGHTLY. 

47) Ch2, 1 tr in same place, ch4,  *miss the dc in the ch-sp, work a 5tr-cl (a 5 treble cluster) over the next 5 sts, ch5, repeat from * to end finishing with 4 ch and a tr in last st.

Yo into first dc, pull up a,loop, yo pull through 2

yo into 2nd dc, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops

yo, into 3rd dc, pull up a loop, yo pull though 2 loops

yo into 4th dc, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops

yo into 5th dc, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops so there are 6 loops on the hook 

now yo and pull through ALL 6 LOOPS. 1 5-tr-cl made

48) Ch1, 1 dc in the same place, 4 dc in the 4-ch-sp, *6dc in the 5-ch-sp, repeat from * to end finishing with 4dc in the last 4-ch-sp and 1 dc in the last st. 

CUPCAKES!
