Today we had the loveliest little birthday party I have ever attended 🙂 The little birthday boy got, among other things, his playfood set of fruit and veg.
Here it is, nicely colour coordinated on our coffee table.

Philip´s Fruit and Veg II
Remember the set of amigurumi fruit and veg I started to make for our boy´s first birthday? Well, I added some to it.
This is pumpkin, lemon, tomato, carrot and corn hanging around on the window ledge while Pip is napping. I really like making these, but I am running out of ideas and patterns I can make with colours I have. I would like to add a melon slice, cherries and a green apple, and then I don´t know anymore. However, his birthday party is this Sunday, so I will probably not have a chance to make any more than that anyway. I can always add something to the collection later though.
I will post the whole collection with link to Ravelry project page and respective patterns, once I am done with it completely 🙂
Philip´s Fruit and Veg
Well I certainly don´t need another project, with Rondeur in the making and Mitered and Chequered almost finished. But with Pip´s forthcoming first birthday, I obviously had to make sure he has a handmade gift from me 🙂 I thought about it for few days. Clothes are not very gifty. He has tons of animals already (will make a post on his playroom menagerie at some point).
And then I though I could make different fruits and vegetables. They will be great not only for learning about the fruit and veg themselves, but also about colours, shapes, later for playing shop and everything 🙂 Also I always found them cute and wanted to give them a go but did not see a real purpose for them.
So far I have this:
Pear, apple, strawberry, banana, tangerine and mushroom, all from here. I have lots more planned and will definitely list the final list once I set this up as new project on Ravelry. I also plan to crochet a basket or crate, but we will see about what time I have.
I really cannot wait for him to have them 🙂
