Lemonlime

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:

I've made a lemon and lime so far and the lime is for in a car. I also put some lemon/lime oil in them so they smell like they should too :D They make great freshioners. I've written about them in my blog.

Thanks for the pattern! <3
