Crochet, Food Edition

After crocheting a plastic bag holder (boring) I've been wanting to do some creative crochet. To get some ideas I've been surfing free pattern sites. I must have been hungry at the time because food patterns seemed like a perfect new project, but what can you really do with a yarn hot dog? People. The good news is that anything can be crocheted. Anything. Even adorable little cupcakes.

And mini apples. I really really want to make these....aren't they fabulous?! But I can't seem to justify it because I wouldn't actually use them for any specific purpose. Maybe River would play with them...

Or there is this delicious pattern. I'm sure it is just the thing the you've always wanted. A toast purse. And now you can crochet your very own! Looking at this is making me hungry. And reminding me of all the toast and spray -butter I during at college.

This next pattern may actually be useful.

Dressing up for the next Harry Potter film? These yarn radishes would be perfect to use for a Luna Lovegood costume, which isn't complete without her famous radish (or to be precise, dirigible plum) earrings. Though I think they are orange in the book.

And for the man in your life, fried-egg cuffs. This pattern comes for a great site called MonsterCrochet. It has wonderful patterns for things like a Golum hat and spooky severed fingers.
