This post is inspired by a friend of mine, Wendy.  Wendy is a fantastic knitter, but she has a little quirk.  She almost exclusively knits toy food.

I know!  How fantastic is that?

She makes big picnic baskets of food, cornucopias of food, full Thanksgiving dinners, and an array of “fresh” fruits and vegetables that would make a greengrocer (ahem) green with envy.

Let’s spend today talking about knit food, in Wendy’s honor.  (And because knit food is ridiculously cute!)

You could always go the healthy route, and knit up some lovely produce:

Pears…

Knitted ‘Shrooms by Abby Kroken

Carrots…

Heirloom Carrot by Sara Hills

And peas.

And, of course, there’s always room for milk and cookies after a delicious (knit) meal.

Have you ever knit food?  Are you going to now?  (I might- these projects are just too cute to ignore.)
