I love knitting different things and found this link on a Waldorf site I was reading. Much better than them playing with plastic food!

Jayne- These are really cute! What fun they would be for little ones to play with. Wonder if there is a pattern for a knitted picnic basket? That would be so much fun with all these goodies tucked inside!
I loved those strawberries, they would make cute pincushions and that cherry pie...oh my! Thanks for sharing!

I just got that book out of the libray last night! I love the Knit cacti. I think I am going to make it for my friend who has a brown thumb as a house warming present. I love the knittng pattern central site for free patterns as well.....so much yarn so little time..... That reminds me of a funny story about when I was in a quilting store. My husband was running errand with me and he came into the fabric store with me. half way through my browsing he said out of the blue "so much fabric, so little time" I just about kissed him right then and there. I was thinking that he got it..he really understood what it is like to have a craft obsession. Then I found out he was reading a sign......we both got a good chuckle out of that.
Sorry for the random ramblings. if I make anythig I will post pictures!!!

That sounds like a great book - I'll have to look on amazon!

The fruit cozy book is called "Funky Knits" by Carol Meldrum and Julie Marchington. They call them "fruit protectors" and there is a pattern for one that fits an apple and a banana. The book also has patterns for egg cozies, knit cacti (very kitschy-- great for people who have brown thumbs!) and assorted 'funky' clothes and whatnot.

I haven't made one yet, but I plan to soon. When I get home today I'll look up the title of the book. They're more of little slings that wrap around the fruit and secure with a button. Really cute.

Amanda,
That is such a great idea - I've never heard of fruit cozies before! Just when you thought there were no new knitting patterns under the sun!! I'd love to see one - have you made one? I am imagining a sort of little drawsting bag, maybe?
Best wishes,
Jayne |

Not exactly knitted food (which has fantastic appeal to me since my favorite toy as a child was play food), but I have a book with directions on how to make fruit cozies. I think it's a nifty concept, especially since I tend to throw an apple in bag and it ends up bruised beyond recognition by the time I get around to eating it.

Ha! I stumbled across a site today called the Knitting Cook - http://theknittingcook.libsyn.com/ unfortunately most of the content seems to be on podcasts and I haven't gotten iTunes installed on my PC yet...
Sounds like what I was looking for -at least there's a recipe for white bean spinach soup there that sounds good!

Brenda, I know - when I read back the post in the topic list, I did think it sounded a bit strange!
Catherine, it is bad news sometimes finding new patterns as I tend to always want to make the next thing and sometimes other things get left in limbo!
Happy knitting everyone, and to all those crocheters who wish they could knit, I wish I could crochet!!

That is neat. I also crochet. Have you seen their crohet stuff too.
This site is full of good patterns.
But, I have to hand copy mine ; I don't have a printer or any thing like that. Pinkroses. |

Alright, the tofu pincushion and knit sushi pieces (complete with wasabi and pickled ginger!) are killing me. I may have to stop what I'm knitting now just whip up some of these. Too, too cute! Thanks, Jayne!

I do not knit. But oh how cute these food items were. Thanks for sharing, and if anyone makes these I would love to see pictures.

There are a whole bunch of crocheted patterns for food items, most of which can be found at the crochet version of the link above...
http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/
I collect patterns like these (just wish I could knit) and have tons of stuff if anyone is looking for a crochet pattern for a specific item, just email me and I'll check my files.

Cool! One of the ladies in our machine knitting group made pumpkins and squashes, they were beautiful for decorations (not toys)...
But I clicked on your topic because of the heading - I have been knitting so much lately I hate to stop to fix supper for my husband. I was hoping it was a crockpot recipe.....
