Knitting Food Art

Thanks to Darwin Barton

When I first started knitting, I knitted the basic things such as socks and caps and mittens or doilies. After years of honing my craft, I am now knitting on an advanced level and am creating still food pieces with my knitting. Much the same way a painter paints still life food I am creating the same art in a knitted fashion. I like to watch satellite TV from CannonSatellite.com to take a break from knitting and let my mind and fingers pause from the work before I continue on with creating these artistic pieces.

In the past month I have knitted bananas and bowls of fruit such as pears and apples. I have knitted hanging grapes and gifted them to a friend whose kitchen is decorated in wine and grape accessories. She loved them! I have also enjoyed knitting large loaves of rustic, old-fashioned looking loaves of French bread. All these food pieces I have knitted have really made my kitchen come alive and have given it a unique appeal and charm. I enjoy also knitting wine bottle holders as a simple but charming accessory for gifts to give to friends.
