Here you can see the lovely Twinkie Chan herself enjoying a cupcake break and a chat with one of the guests.
The shop filled up with people eager to learn to crochet and to meet our guest of honour, and we ran out of chairs very quickly! Apologies to those who had to sit on the floor!
There were patterns on hand for anyone who wanted to have a go and crochet their own cupcake from Twinkie Chan's new book, and the lady herself showed us how it was done.
Abby was an expert crocheter and got stuck straight in, and I think she was the first to finish a complete cupcake (after Twinkie of course!)
Boopetta and Tet show Twinkie Chan's cousin how to crochet - it was so great seeing the experienced crocheters teaching those who had never crocheted before!
The gorgeous Maxine from Little Miss Delicious stopped by, wearing one of her amazing necklaces. We're sad you couldn't stay longer, but come and visit again soon!
And Lizzy from Lizzy Knits joined us, wearing one of Twinkie Chan's cookie scarves! She was a great teacher too, and we were all jealous of how fast she could whip up a cupcake!
Lovely Kim, who has the most beautiful blog ever, and Twinkie Chan were very focused on their crocheting.
The start of a cupcake...
... and the finished piece!
Twinkie Chan was so super sweet, and signed copies of her book for everyone, and posed for what felt like hundreds of photographs!
A huge thank you to everyone who came by, said hello, ate cake, and joined in, it was so lovely meeting you all and we hope to see you again very soon. And the biggest thank you of course goes to Twinkie Chan for being the most perfect guest of honour we could have asked for!
If you missed out on the event then fear not, we still have copies of Twinkie Chan's book available in our Kingly Court store, and online right here.
