Round Up – What to Make with Caron Cakes
This post contains affiliate links (click here for more info). By now you’ve probably seen the new Cakes yarn from Caron. You can’t turn on facebook without seeing pictures of projects made with it, and you may have noticed some have worked out better than others.
