A New Knitter

Well, she isn't exactly new at knitting, but her project is new to my blog.  She is my good friend from the UK - Allison.  I'm going to let her explain in her own words, so I quote from her e-mail to me.....

We have just finished the basket fruit etc and it is due to be presented to a child in the village school sometime in July. If I say so myself - not bad. My contribution was the pear the grapes and the cherries. My friends Lesley and Kath did the rest. The coconut was the best but forgot to take a picture of that. Anyway thought you would like to see the end resullt. 

Here are some pictures:

 This is the famous pear.  Our whole conversation in Florida in the spring started with Allison trying to figure out how to knit a pear.  She sure did a great job!

 These are the most adorable cherries I've ever seen - I want some!

 Here is a veiw of the basket - also made by the ladies.  Notice the watermelon in the basket and the banana on the left.

 There is a banana inside this kindly peel!

 The famous pear and a perfect green apple.

 Here is a peach-ey (note: the fruit is a peaceful lemon!) example of the talent in Allison's group.

 I think these grapes are my favourite of all the lovely creations!  Aren't they great?

 And here is the finished project.  A lot of hours and a lot of fun.  Congrats ladies - it turned out very well!  Thanks for sharing with us Allison!  And give our regards to the other ladies as well!
