Nick posted about crocheted food a week ago, noting that it was far more popular than he had anticipated. Some of the creations were fantastic, but if you're not very crafty, it's going to be hard to fit in with your cupcake-crocheting friends. The solution is to get some pre-made play foods, like the ones available from Mahar Drygoods. Each of the food items is hand-crafted from soft felt and makes a great starting set for your budding chef because there is no risk of cooking-related injuries. The sets available include pancake and bacon breakfast set, a brown bag lunch (pictured), a dinner set and a pizza. Heck, they're cute for any chef. I know that I want the those pancakes!
Go on, play with your food!
Crocheted food?
When my girlfriend showed me pictures of knitted cupcakes in a book of knitting projects, I just sort of
chuckled. Today, when I came across an enormous
list of food-related crochet projects, like the eggs and bacon you see here, I was forced to grapple with the fact
that this is an entire genre. I know that there's definitely some overlap between the food bloggers and the
craft/knit/crochet bloggers, and I'm sure some of you fall into both categories. Personally, when I see a knitting
needle I'd rather put some shrimp on it, but nevermind that. There are some pretty creative and bizarre projects out
there. My favorite so far is, without a doubt, the Flying Spaghetti Monster Hat. Continue reading to see a picture of
it, as well as a few others.
