My first one with one strand of yarn, then two strands but uneven cherry sizes with a messy join, next two better ones, finally the one I had from Amy with double knitting yarn.
The first two trial ones I pinned to my girls. They wear red to school and Little M came back and said "Pippa, Ellie and Indy all want you to make them cherries!" I bet they do I thought!
Anyway, because I am a bit of a soft touch I made a brooch for Ellie as it was her birthday party on Sunday and we popped it in with her sticker book present.
Then I made two more. Little M is starting some sort of gang based on who is wearing a set of crocheted cherries. I don't know if this story has an alternative ending other than me making billions of cherries for the whole class!
Other fruit based news: this is our first strawberry from the allotment this year and yes, we did cut it into four to all enjoy a piece each!

Of course you cut the strawberry into four, I bet it was the tastiest one you' ve ever had. There is something so satisfying about eating your own home grown.
ReplyDeleteYour cherries are gorgeous.
Exciting times, the wonderful strawberries. I am nurturing and watching mine like a mother hen but still no ripe one yet. The cherries are adorable.

I see a lot of cherries in your future, and then they will want another fruit, better butter up your skills with strawberries and blueberries.
