I haven't updated this in a few days because school started back so today I will. Sunday I knitted a green apple named, Mrs. Sour Apple and she has a sour look on her face.
I made her from the same apple pattern that I invented. I also bought beautiful purple yarn which I made into a Henry Bear from Jess Hutch's book "Unusual Toys to Knit and Enjoy."
AND I made more fruit people. I think that this will be the last of my fruit knitting endeavors. I want to knit some other things. Today I knitted a lemon and a lime from my own pattern that I amde up while I knitted the little fruits. I am going to post the pattern here for all to benefit from (the toy making kind of knitters).
here is the pattern:

waaah if only I knew how to read knitting patterns!
love these fruit patterns! found you via ravelry. my toddler's going to love some knitted fruit in her kitchen!
Can anybody tell me what 'kfb' is. I have been knitting for years and have never seen that before.
it means knit front back. in other words, increase.
Can someone tell me what it means to 'kfb around'? I understand what kfb is, but I'm not sure what it means by around.
