"knitting" news and stories

I'm always so impressed by people who can knit, especially if they're good at it. I have no patience, so I'm pretty sure I would be a lousy knitter: I'd be trying to rush through and see how much I could get done in a certain amount of time.

If you're into knitting, either as a participant or fan, and you like food, then you'll love the work of Ed Bing Lee. Though I'm not quite sure why Inventor Spot did a post on this knitting artist, I'm glad they brought him to my attention. Mr. Lee's delectables series includes a knitted hamburger, ice cream cone, and key lime pie, among other things.

If you knit food, or just have some images you'd like to share, we always love to see that kind of thing here at Slashfood. Happy weekend!

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.
