I do really love pie. Especially cherry pie with tart/sweet cherries and flaky crust. Oh boy! So when I saw this cute little pattern (All Your Pie Tape Measure) it caught my eye. I whipped up these two little ditties yesterday afternoon.
My husband, who is usually very supportive of my knitting habit, was speechless. He looked at these and was afraid to say anything. The look on his face told the story. He was either thinking, “She has WAY too much time on her hands (so why is the house such a mess?),” or, “She has finally gone completely over the deep end!”
It IS a compulsion that cannot be denied. What can I say?
PS in response to Pam’s question: My “knit” version really did not have a lot of knitting. Just the bottom crust. I crocheted the cherry filling because I wanted more texture and crocheted the fluting around the top of the crust. The lattice for both versions were standard i-cord.
Oh my, these really are adorable! And what a good husband to hold his tongue 😉

Adorable! How could you resist? Did you do an all knit version?

All knitters recognize that ‘husband’ look. Pity, eh?

OMG! I love pie. Love pie. I make at least two pies per month (quadruple that during rhubarb and apple seasons). My DH would simply roll his eyes.

Have you seen the Harold tape measures crocheted by kozmic on Ravelry?

Love those! I got that husband (and also from three sons) look yesterday when I made a sweater for my cell phone.

I recently saw a large tatted doily that you had shown on Pinterest. I have seen this doily one other time and have not been able to find the pattern for it. Do you share that pattern or sell it? It looks like it was on a brown background and had a fair ribbon on it. Thanks for your help.
