Day 7 - Knitted and Crocheted Food, What a Mouthful of Wool

Today I thought that I'd share with you my driving companion, my knitted prawn.

My knitted prawn                                                                      

A few years ago when I was quite keen on knitting I decided to try something different so I knitted a prawn. I meant to knit some more foods but it never really took off. Recently however I came accross a textile artist called Kate Jenkins  
http://www.cardigan.ltd.uk/kate-jenkins.php who creates some fantastic crocheted food with a twist of humour. I've provided some of my favourite work of hers below.

Wool Chow Mein Fake Away


I think Kate has just managed to re-ignite my interest in knitted and crocheted foods! Watch this space and see if my prawn gets some companions soon!

  1. These are adorable! I've never tried crocheting before, but this type of stuff makes me want to learn. It's very detailed. I especially love the French fries. :)
