Afternoon Tea Throw – Chocolate Cake and Swiss Roll

This week I have finished 3 more squares for my afternoon tea throw.  The first one is supposed to be chocolate cake.  In real life I think the filling would probably be a similar colour to the sponge – but that would not make for a good design.  Alternatively my mother used to make a delicious chocolate cake with cream on the top – this would not make a very interesting design either.

The block is the same a one I have knitted before only in different colours.  I have repeated this idea for the Swiss Roll blocks.  The first one is chocolate like the cake and the second one uses red and yellow like the Victoria sponge block.

It is not going to be all cake.  I have thought about some savoury blocks.  I am currently knitting a Scotch egg – that is not a phrase you come across very often!  I am supposed to be finishing a cardigan but I keep getting ideas for my throw and wanting to try them out.
