T-Tiny Treats.....

Back during the holidays, I finally started knitting toys. I must say it's a bit addicting and so far Alan Dart is my supplier. Lately, I've been wanting to knit some little food items for a few children that are at the age of playing tea party. Well, yesterday while I was out running errands, I ran into the yarn store. Of course I ran into the yarn store, isn't that a mandatory stop on any shopping trip??? I thought so....

Well, I found a little book that not only has cakes and fruits and veggies, but it has these sweet little sushi and dim sum. The book is Yummi 'Gurumi, by: Christen Haden & Mariasosa Sala - published 2010.

 I'm still thinking that I might want to knit a plate of these little sushi and use them as table decor. I have a great teak wood plate that I've had for years and these little treats would look amazing on it and really spice up the kitchen table. This little book has really made my imagination start running away with itself.

So, if you want something new to knit for the afternoon tea party with your favorite little one, this book is a great way to introduce them to different foods and cultures. They are quick and easy to make and once again, a great way to use up the leftovers in the stash.

Wouldn't these be sweet little gifts to give at a birthday party or a wedding or baby shower???

If tea parties are not your little ones thing, what about a play date a pretend diner - with the famous BLT????
