Loopy Loves No-Cal Treats … and a CONTEST!
There are so many of you out there making Girasoles with our KAL and I wish I could invite everyone to a Sit & Knit one night to work on them! (Never mind that we couldn’t contain all of the KALers here at Loopy Central if you all came on the same night. This is just me, thinking wishfully wishfully thinking contemplating how fun it would be.) See this little circle? It’s the start of Knitting Daughter’s KAL. She and Elf Donna talked themselves into making one and I’m really happy about that. Donna is using Cascade 220 and KD is using Cascade Heritage. KD has knit plenty of socks and scarves, but this is her first lace project and her first chart-reading project. I think being a Loopy Elf for the summer is getting to her….
Thanks for weighing in (snicker) on Brownie Batter Blizzards. I’m glad that it’s a limited edition flavor and that it will be going away soon. I have a better option for all of us. Remember when I blogged about Marlon and her amazing knitted pastries back in February? As soon as I saw them, I was trying to figure out how to get some, as they are just too cute. I told her that she really ought to set up an Etsy shop so that I could buy 
some other people could enjoy her beautiful work, too. And she did! As soon as she opened, I hopped over there and bought these two – the Fruit Tart and the Chocolate Strawberry Cake. They arrived in a cute package, and got here lickety split (when you consider that she shipped them from Amsterdam). I thought that I’d set them out on display in our kitchen at Loopy Central, but I have kind of been enjoying them in 
my office for too long, now. I don’t want to give them up. (Check out the latest pastries in her shop. The whipped cream cracks me up! And the Poached Pear in Wine Sauce? Rhubarb Pie? Carrot Cake? sigh.) She plans to continue to add a few new ones in most every week, so bookmark it and keep an eye on things there.
My contest question for you this month: If you were knitting up your favorite dessert, what would you be knitting? (Not a fan of desserts? What other food item do you think would be fun to see knit up?) Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll draw for the winners next week. Since Marlon used Wollmeise Rhubarb in her Rhubarb Pie, I think we’ll use Wollmeise yarn for the prize in the contest. That seems fair.

First choice would be creme brulee (Durant’s does one that is TDF!!) and close second would be tiramisu.
And now I sense a trip to AJ’s to get some tiramisu for dessert tonight
no creme brulee because my little torch is out of fuel. Must knit faster to work off the calories!
Thanks for a ’sweet’ start to the day Sheri!
Marie said,

I would love a Reece’s peanut butter cup – which I can’t eat since I’m now very allergic to peanuts. I gained weight just looking.
Linda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:47 pm
I would knit up my friend Joan’s sinful but delicious peanut-butter chocolate cake. She’s a wonderful friend, but her baking genius is literally the frosting on the cake!
Rachael said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:47 pm
Mmmm….Tiramisu sounds delicious!
I am not a fan of sweets as a general rule, but I think that round cake donuts would be super-cute knit up! Maybe with pink frosting and sprinkles?
Patricia said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:48 pm
What a lovely idea Sheri! Thank you very much.
Strawberry shortcake is my very favorite. I can just see it now all knit up… A buttery colored biscuit with lovely strawberries and cream on top. I think I need to go home and make some now.
Cindy in Happy Valley said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
I love fruit pies…..all kinds, but my very favorite is blueberry. I’ve been known to request a blueberry birthday pie from time to time.
Second in line is Wegman’s, Ultimate Chocolate Cake. I don’t know how they do it! (And thank goodness it comes in two sizes!)
Gayle said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
M&M’s–all knitted in Wollmeise. I love them but do not buy them because I will eat the entire bag.
Maya said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:57 pm
I am not a fan of sweets….I would knit sushi instead!
Alice said,
June 17, 2009 @ 1:57 pm
Oh my…knitted desserts. It would be a toss up between Tiramisu and Creme Brulee…or maybe a Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard…or maybe a Cappachino Heath Blizzard…or maybe…hmmmmm…the list could go on and on.
Bonnie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:00 pm
Creme brulee for me too. Or maybe Sees’ peanut brittle. Thinking about dessert when I’m hungry is probably not a good thing.
Kitten With A Whiplash said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:00 pm
My favorite dessert is Pecan Pie, but I wouldn’t have a clue how to knit it. I can’t cook it either. But I can sure eat it!
Sarah F. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:00 pm
Pecan Pie with vanilla bean ice cream on the side…. Oh heaven on a plate!!
Tracy Underwood said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:02 pm
My favorite would be Lemon Chess Pie, just imagine the honey brown criss-cross pie crust covering up the lemon yellow filling …
or maybe even Key Lime Pie, the white whipped cream would look very summerish overtop the lime green center.
southparknitter said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:04 pm
I’d like to see Tar Heel Pie (chocolate pie made with semi-sweet morsels) and no meringue. It is yummy in the tummy.
We might not be able to get together to KAL but we could all work on it at the same time and those of use that have access to Under the Tuscan Sun or Calendar Girls could watch and knit together. Maybe we could do this on a Sunday afternoon or evening. We could even eat M&Ms…
Elizabeth said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:05 pm
My favorite dessert is a lemon tart, preferably bought from a patisserie in Paris. It would knit up a beautiful little item for a table decoration. I would also love to see knitted ice cream in a cone.
Paula said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:09 pm
There are so many desserts that I love…right now a red velvet cake sounds pretty yummy. Slightly healthier might be strawberry shortcake. Okay, I’m getting hungry for something sweet.
Linda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:10 pm
Without a doubt, hot fudge sundae!
Joan said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:11 pm
I love dessert, but my mind went right to a Chicago deep-dish pizza! I must be hungry!
maryeb said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:11 pm
It’s hard to choose since I like a lot of desserts. I guess I’d knit up a version of my grandmother’s lemon meringue pie, so delicious and full of super sweet memories.
Nancy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:18 pm
I got hungry looking at all those freshly knitted up treats. It’s amazing how your brain (at first) really dials in that they are food and not yarn! Ok, what would I like to see knitted up? Since it’s hot here today how about 3 scoops of ice cream all nestled together…neopolitan. pistachio, and fudge ripple. And now I’m hungry again.
Marsha said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
I love cream puffs (!) so that is what I would knit; also cupcakes that look like the ones in children’s books.
If I were knitting food, it would have to be a pile of mashed potatoes with melted butter!!!
Rita said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
Hm. An espresso cupcake with a raspberry frosting. Pecan pie! Or maybe vanilla ice cream sundae topped with gooey caramel and almonds. Vanilla ice cream so I can share it with my Meezer girls.
Robin said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
Turtle Cheesecake or Oreo Cookies.
Kjirsten said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:21 pm
You’re making us choose a dessert?? Can’t we have them all??
I would knit key lime pie! Yum!
catherine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
I would love to see French macarons (no, that is not a misspelling) in the pistachio and rose “flavors.” Hmm, while I’m at it, I’d also like to see financiers knit up. Oh, and a bowl of whipped cream because I would consider that a dessert and because her whipped cream is so adorable.
Maria said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
How about a huge bowl of cut up fruit? Actually, I’d prefer chocolate, but it wouldn’t be as pretty to knit.
Bonney said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:26 pm
I think I would be knitting up an ice cream cone or maybe my favorite dessert when I was a kid; penny candy!! It’s so hard to choose just one thing!
Tammy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:28 pm
Definitely creme brulee, and then there’s a favorite Chocolate Caramel Cashew cheesecake that I make that’s to die for. And, a Reese’s peanut butter cup could be pretty cool, too!
Doris said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:28 pm
I think it would be either Lemon Meringue Pie or vanilla ice cream with homemade fudge pured over it. Thanks for making me crave sweets this afternoon….I am trying to avoid those at the moment and this didn’t help!
Sharon K said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:30 pm
Not a dessert fan. But I like Macaroni & Cheese (the kind with a crust on it). Don’t know how to do it, I’d have to think about that for awhile.
Kim Bradley said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:31 pm
Ice cream sundae–vanilla ice cream, hot butterscotch sauce, whipped cream and a cherry! I wonder how to knit melting ice cream?
Kathryn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:32 pm
Cheesecake! Any kind.
Linda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:33 pm
I would knit a lemon meringue pie slice.
…other food item would be vegetables…for some reason I’m thinking green, like asparagus, green beans, peas.
Oh, look, it’s time for lunch -
Kathy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:34 pm
A chocolate lava cake would do it for me!
Laurie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:35 pm
I don’t care for them, but I think a banana split would be a neat thing to knit…lots of colors and different parts!
Alicia A. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:36 pm
Hi Sherri,
Thanks so much for sharing such interesting things on your blog. It’s amazing how connected us crafters can be. Yummo and Wow on the fruit tart especially. I’m a big cookie girl myself, so I would like to see some great big chocolate chunk cookies knitted up… a la mode of course… and a great big fat red strawberry as a garnish.
Jessi said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:37 pm
I would knit a strawberry shortcake
mmmm
Michele in Maine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:39 pm
Well, it would have to be a smorgasbord for me – ginger cookies (of course!), chocolate pomagranate cake, coffee ice cream in a cone with jimmies, creme brulee. I can’t choose!
Wendy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:41 pm
Peanut butter cups!!! With a bite out of ‘em so you could see thew yummy peanut butter filling.
Donna said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:42 pm
I’m not a big fan of sweets, so I’d have to knit up a big ol’ pizza pie, with plenty of pepperoni, onions, mushrooms and a WHOLE LOT of cheese! Man, I’ve made myself hungry . . .
Bev said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:43 pm
Chocolate, definitely. Brownies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate toffee. Betty Croker makes a good brownie/chocolate chip combo for when I really can’t decide.
Now that I think about it, I do have some Mini Maiden in Ebony that I could knit up.
barefoot rooster said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:44 pm
a chocolate chip cookie the size of my head. there was this cafe in the town i went to college in that had cookies i would routinely hold up to my head for comparison. the cookies always won. the rainbow cafe is no longer in business, but one of their cookies, in knitted form, might be the next best thing…
TMTTYRR said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:44 pm
OH, there’s this panna cotta that they make at an Italian restaurant in Washington, DC, that is just TO DIE FOR!!! I have dreams about that panna cotta.
Otherwise, I’d probably have to knit up some ice cream (any flavor will work for me), or a Savannah Cream Cake. Yep. That’s what I’d make. First I’d knit (or crochet) it, then I’d bake one and eat it. Numm…. Hey, maybe Allen could make a Numma Numma flavor for the Savannah Cream Cake??? A Loopy exclusive? Hmmmmm….
Amanda Cathleen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:45 pm
I’m a total sucker for cheesecake. My uncle was a professional pastry chef and would make me HUGE cheesecakes for my birthday. One year he past the recipe onto me, best cheesecake ever. Secret is to mix it with your hands not whip it with a blender (adds to much air, and ends up making it to dense). Or a chocolate peanut butter cake. mmmm!
Allison said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:45 pm
I would love to figure out how to knit a piece of cheesecake!
(Your cookie recipe looks AWESOME – can’t wait to try it!)
AndreaInBlue said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:45 pm
If we’re talking desserts, I would SO knit up a bowl of homemade very-vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries on top!
Right now I’m craving caffeine, though, and would knit up a salted caramel latte. Mmmmm….
Vicki said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:47 pm
I’d like to see a slice of German Chocolate cake.
Not so sure what would work for the pecan/coconut frosting though!
But yum!!
Lynne E. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:49 pm
My all-time favorite dessert is Peach Melba, which is a fresh peach topped with vanilla ice cream topped with raspberry sauce. Yum! Another favorite is chocolate cheesecake.
Alicia said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:49 pm
I think I’d knit up my favorite dark chocolate shortbread brownies. Hmmm….maybe I’ll have to whip up a batch of the real thing tonight…strictly for knitting inspiration purposes, of course.
Sarah said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:51 pm
Pain au chocolat is the best dessert. Might not be as cute as a lovely slice of cake, but sooo yummy. Hmmm, guess I’ll have to go to France for an appropriate model:)
Melissa said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:51 pm
Mmm…probably chocolate covered strawberries. Or a peanut butter cup. Yum! (or really, anything chocolate…or cheesecake)
Kristin said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:52 pm
I’d knit up a strawberry cupcake with pink frosting and a strawberry on top. Got spring on my mind!!!
Allison said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:52 pm
Well I heart red velvet cake, and think it sure would be pretty (tempting?) knit up! I would also love to see cupcakes. I’ve become a huge fan of chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. MMMMM.
On a side note, are the Ravelry-like *buttons* new, or am I just really unaware of the obvious?
Karen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:52 pm
I love peanut-butter pie, so I guess I would knit that. Makes me wish there was scented yarn out there. Remember the Strawberry Shortcake dolls that used to smell like their namesakes?
Angela said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:53 pm
Wonderful idea! It would be a tie between chocolate chip cheesecake and my mothers fudge brownies with homemade peanut butter frosting. Not as colorful as a pie or a hot fudge sundae but truly delicious!
Laura said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:56 pm
I think Chocolate Delight (graham crust, cream cheesey layer, chocolate pudding layer, cool whip layer) would knit up well. Most of the other desserts I enjoy are too messy. All the more reason to clean the dessert plate of every crumb
Susan said,
June 17, 2009 @ 2:57 pm
One of the most decadent desserts that I have ever had (and still dream about) was what I call a chocolate ball (a heaping mound of chocolate mousse on a circle of chocolate cake covered in a chocolate ganashe). But I don’t think that would look very nice knitted up. Next comes to mind this time of year is one of my favorite pies Rhubarb….. But to see knitted up (and I am making for my Dad for Father’s Day) and would be fun to have several sitting on a beautiful plate would be Red Velvet Cupcakes with piped swirled cream cheese frosting……… Ok now must find midafternoon snack……..
Jennifer in SC said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
How about ‘Loopy’ Kisses, including the foil wrapper! Or a Snickers bar with a bite taken out of it so you can see the inside. There are just too many that would look great knitted.
Lori said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
Cupcakes!
Marianne said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
My favorite dessert is pumpkin pie chiffon cheesecake with pear sauce. Sinfully delicious. Yum!
Martha in Dc said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
My most perfect dessert is a brownie with nuts and chocolate chips. I don;t think it would knit up into a very interesting item but it is wonderful to eat.
Emily said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
Either blackberry cobbler or rhubarb crisp, with vanilla ice cream, of course!
Ali said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
It would have to be lemon meringue pie! Had that at my wedding and couldn’t finish it my piece, and for the entire honeymoon, everywhere we went, there was a lemon meringue pie, stalking me.
Melanie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
I would have to say an ice cream sundae. With whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top!
nestra said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
Crablegs, or some nicely pan-seared sea scallops, or a beautiful steak (rare please) or … MAN I am hungry now!
Tori said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
I’d knit up a chocolate peanut butter pie, the kind my mom makes at thanksgiving. OM NOM NOM.
Linda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
I’d have to knit my favorite cookie, which is a giant M&M chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet. It meets all needs, as the outside edge is always a little crispy, while the middle stays a bit undone, which is wonderful.
Gladys said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
Yum, I love desserts (a little too much, says my scale!)
How about some Canadian content … knitted Tim Horton’s donuts, with frosting!
Sylvia said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
Easy–Tiramisu.
I love the knitted dessert idea! I might have to go for a fruit tart in second place.
Kim A. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:12 pm
A red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting… or maybe some cream puffs, or my mother’s lemon meringue pie, or just a plate of meringues… oh dear, now I’m just free associating desserts–yum!!
Kelly S said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:13 pm
Boy, all of these answers are making me very, very hungry!!! I don’t think I can pick just one. My very favorite dessert is a white chocolate cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crumb crust and strawberry sauce topping…so good!!! A close second is Tiramisu. I really do enjoy a good dessert! Thanks for the contest!
JenL said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:14 pm
Ok, now I’m really hungry. It would either be a hot fudge sundae from Fenton’s in Oakland, CA (mint chocolate cookie ice cream) (http://www.fentonscreamery.com/) or molten chocolate cake where the middle is gooey and topped with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce.
Bertha said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
I would knit up a bowl of custard! My favorite desserts all involve custard: eclairs, creme brulee, flan, egg custard pie, coconut custard, grapenut custard…yum!
Rosi G. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
omg if i could knit a madeleine…..luuuurve!
kit said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:20 pm
I would like pineapple upside down cake knitted up as well as chocolate cream pie. YUM!
valerie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:21 pm
my friend kate made an almond joy cake for another friend’s birthday just last night. homemade chocolate cake with actual chocolate chunks baked in. entirely from scratch. sinfully delicious does not even begin to describe. seriously.
i would knit that.
Heather said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:22 pm
I’d have to knit up the two classic Maine desserts: Needhams and Whoopie Pies:
http://maineneedham.com/site/index.php
http://www.wickedwhoopies.com/
Needhams are chocolate and POTATO candies (they’re yummy, too!) and the Whoopie pie website I included is from my Hometown of Gardiner, ME. Oprah LOVES Isamax Woopie Pies! I’m not kidding.
Now I’m hungry….
claire said,

Belinda Giliberti said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:25 pm
Macaroni and cheese is my favorite dish ever! If you told me I could choose any dessert in the world to eat, but I could never eat macaroni and cheese, I would pick the macaroni and cheese and be happy with never eating dessert ever in my life ever again.
Is there any way to combine chocolate and macaroni and cheese???
Paula said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:27 pm
It would have to be cherry pie with vanilla ice cream on top!
The pie is fruit so not so bad, right?
Amy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:29 pm
A Daube’s (local bakery) chocolate carrot cupcake!!!!!!!
Catherine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:30 pm
A nice big piece of chocolate creme pie, and of course it is not complete with out some fluffy whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings on top….although the shavings might present a bit more of a knitting dilemma!
Tracy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
I’d be knitting German Chocolate Cake! Mmmmmm.
Renada said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
I would knit a pineapple upside down cake. When I was pregnant, my DH would make it for me to make the baby move. She liked it too
Julia B said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
I would so knit a large piece of Apple Pie Ala Mode! Yummy!
Kathy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
I would love to see some Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies.
Jen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:34 pm
Hmm, it would a tough decision. Vanilla ice cream with peanut butter. That might be hard to knit though.
Hattie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:34 pm
I adore banana cream pie, but it’s hard to find any really good ones, so I don’t get to eat it much. I think that’d have to be it. Fluffy whip cream on top, creamy filling, and a pleasantly firm crust. YUM.
sue said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:35 pm
I would knit up Strawberry Shortcake! It would look so pretty with the yellow cake, red strawberries and lovely creamy white whipped topping. Yum!
Aimee said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:35 pm
I would be knitting my amazing German Chocolate Cake Cookies! Seriously everyone who tries them, asks me for the recipe….so much that I have it typed up and ready to attach to an email……SO YUMMY! (My family’s waistlines do not thank me)
Liz said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:38 pm
I think strawberry shortcake with a nice dollop of whipped cream would be pleasing to the eye and the tast buds:)
Lisa Kay said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:42 pm
I think it would have to be the new blueberry white chocolate truffle cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Ah, another vice… At least yarn isn’t fattening.
Happy Knitting,
Lisa Kay
Deb said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:44 pm
Without a doubt lemon meringue pie! Although if I were knitting a favorite dessert that my husband and I both liked might have to pick Ted Drew’s Frozen Custard! My husband worked there while a teenager in St. Louis and still to this day raves about Ted Drew’!
Laura said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:44 pm
Dessert wise it would be Creme Caramel and if something other than dessert, it would be lasagna.
Ok….now I’m hungry.
Cheers,
Laura
Nancy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:48 pm
I grew up in rural Kansas where pies were an art form and I loved them all, but my favorite would have to be sour cream raisin pie. Of course, homemade ice cream with home made butterscotch sauce would be hard to beat too. I think I am going to start drooling.
Frances said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:50 pm
I have several favorite desserts, but my recent obsession from Joy the Baker’s blog is rice krispie treats topped with peanutbutter fudge and then chocolate. I am looking forward to making this decadent treat!
JoAnn-WI said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:54 pm
It’s a toss up between my mom’s banana cream pie, or Pioneer Woman’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie – either one is a winner in my book.
Steven said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:55 pm
I would definitely be knitting up some chocolate and butterscotch chip cookies! MMMMMM, they would be knitted into a flimsy fabric of course so that they can give the consistency of being fresh out of the oven!!!
lilibean said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:56 pm
I’d have to knit a bananna split. That’s one of my favorite desserts, and it would also be fun to make. My other favorite is chocolate mousse.
Jan said,
June 17, 2009 @ 3:57 pm
My fave-o-rite is angel food cake with chocolate whipped cream frosting, but one I think would look good is lemon meringue pie!
Thanks for the contest!
Dr. Jackie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:02 pm
So many possibilities…! Strawberry shortcake. Ben&Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream. Chocolate Mousse Pie. Oh, and how about parfaits…presented in lovely stemmed goblets? Should I go on…………..?
Fiona said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:02 pm
So hard to choose! After much consideration & mental tasting, it has to be an apple pie scented with cinammon and heaving with juicy apple slices on an apple puree base all wrapped up in deliciously light and buttery millefeuille pastry……Oh, and some whipped cream, or maybe custard……….
Kat Jorgensen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:07 pm
The mailman just brought my Girasole KAL yarn – DIC Classy Some Summer Sky. I’m going out for a breast cancer support meeting, but with any luck, I’ll cast on either tonight or tomorrow : )
Btw, that yarn is even more gorgeous in person. Sigh. Maybe I’ll take a skein with me to the meeting. I can share. I know I can.
If I were knitting a dessert, it would have to be Adam’s Peanut Butter Pie from the Cheesecake Factory. Mmmm…delicious : )
Crystal Baker said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:07 pm
I would be knitting a cheese cake. Someday I’m going to have to try to bake one from scratch.

Tiramisu. My newest favorite since I’ve come to love coffee and chocolate together…..

I would be knitting an apple pie with vanilla ice cream!
Erica Taylor said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:16 pm
OH MY…HMMMM……………. I think I would have to make what we southerners call “A Bump on A Log”
Apple with Peanut butter spread on top spinkled with raisins!! or maybe a blueberry bagel with cream cheese…yummy
Kathryn in Minnesota said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:17 pm
Chocolate mousse! With kheer (rice pudding from India) running a strong second choice. Ooh . . . and Elizabeth’s lemon tart sounds mighty fine too! I’ve actually gone nearly a month without any refined (white or brown) sugar, so am currently killing my sweet tooth with chocolate-covered almonds that are sweetened with malt syrup rather than sugar. Good thing I just ate a few, or this dessert list would have me running for the sugar! I feel better without the sugar, and am losing weight much more easily. : ) Gotta love a diet where you can eat chocolate-covered almonds and still lose weight.

So many options…..How about some carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? Or for “regular” food, wouldn’t it be funny to have a platter of dinner such as steak, potatoes, and green beans? It would make for good conversation!
Marilyn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:19 pm
My favorite is carrot cake with luscious cream cheese frosting. Yum.
Alison said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:21 pm
I’d be cool with a slice of chocolate cake.
Gita said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:21 pm
Oh, I loooooove desserts, so narrowing it down to one is a tough one. But I think my all time favorite is this luscious chocolate mousse I make – it’s pretty famous/infamous in my family, so whenever I make it, I make a double or triple batch, so that there’s enough for everyone! Once I even made a special batch with pasteurized eggs for my sister so she could have some chocolate mousse during her pregnancy.
Mmm, now I have a hankering for chocolate mousse – I need to go see if I have some Ghirardelli dark chocolate so I can make some!
Diana said,

Strawberry shortcake!
Jean said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:24 pm
I would have to say creme brulee.
Patricia said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:24 pm
I would do creme brulee with that crunchy glaze of carmel on top with a few raspberries to top it off. Mmmmm! How about thta as a blizzard or Starbucks latte too?
Allison said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:25 pm
Chocolate chip cookies!
Meesh said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:28 pm
Creme brulee and cheesecake are two of my favorites to eat, but I think if I were knitting one, it would be Fruits of the Forest pie, for all the lovely chunks of colors. (Now, I am hungry).
Kata said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:32 pm
I’m inclined to say apple crisp since my fiance and I made a phenomenal one last night, but that would be a bit hard to knit up. I’m a bit biased about that too since I just had some a few hours ago. If I had to pick my FAVOURITE, it would probably have to be some type of chocolatey nutty cheesecakey thing.
A local coffee shop has really great desserts (its where we go for our knit and chat), and they have the BESTEST peanut butter truffle cheesecake. Yum.
Angela said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:34 pm
Strawberry shortcake!
Bonnie H. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:35 pm
It would be a toss up between cherry pie and red velvet cake.
Cathy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:37 pm
I think it would be fun to knit up a slice of key lime pie!
kim in oregon said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:38 pm
since the prize is wollmeise, I’ll have to say German Chocolate cake.
tabitha said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:43 pm
It would have to be chocolate. Perhaps a lovely chocolate cake or a nice chocolate bar.
catspaw said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:44 pm
Knit up a favorite dessert – wow! I’m inordinately fond of Princess Cake which has a marzipan frosting and a pink marzipan rose. Almond macaroons are another favorite and so is creme brulee. Oh, how about Black Forest Cake? Yeah, Black Forest Cake. mmmmmmm.
another Michelle said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:45 pm
I’ve gotten hungry just reading everyone’s comments!
I checked out the etsy shop and it all looked great…because it’s summer, I’d like to see a knitted ice cream sundae.
Jeanne said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
I love ALL sweets and everything I’ve read in the posts I agree with! But I love cinnamon chip scones with my coffee…both of those would be really cute knitted up and sitting on my desk at work!
Jean E. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
Lemon bars sound pretty good right now!
LInda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
Oh all these desserts are just too much…but my ultimate favorite would be the “Black Tie Mousse Cake” at the Olive Garden. Its a shame that they are about 800 calories a slice, I guess that would mean death by chocolate. Sign me up…
Michelle said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:49 pm
Hands Down! Banana’s Foster!
Stephanie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:51 pm
Not being a huge fan of chocolate, I think it would have to be lemon meringue pie…and may I have a cup of good, strong coffee to go with it, please?
(now if it were my Mom ordering, there would be a scoop of whole bean vanilla ice cream accompanying that piece of pie)
Rhonda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 4:51 pm
At the top of my list would be a Spicy Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Wouldn’t that look good in Wollmeise Spice Market. YAY!!!!

June 17, 2009 @ 4:58 pm
I’m always a sucker for cupcakes… real or knitted!
Dee P. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
I’d definitely have to knit up a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a slice of Sinfully Decadent Chocolate Cake with Hot Fudge Topping dripping over the whole kit and kaboodle.
Cherie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
Hmm. Coconut Cake with lemon filling would be kind of pretty. Chocolate Cookie Sheet cake would be great, too, with the lumpy pecans and shiny chocolate on top. Or lemon meringue pie—how about one of each!
Castiron said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:02 pm
Ice cream? Cake? Chocolate Silk Pie (knit in a silk yarn)?
(Not a knit pattern, but I have a pattern for a sewn cornucopia of vegetables, and I’m tossing around making that sometime as a toy for my baby.)
Sharilyn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:03 pm
Mmmmm….dessert…..pastries……two words….chocolate croissants…mmmmmmmm.
(Not sure how that would knit up though
Chris said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:07 pm
I think rhubarb crisp or strawberry shortcake-probably those two as we are eating those now as there are in season here-in a few months probably something different! Makes hungry just thinking about it all sigh
Stacie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:10 pm
This week it would be a hot fudge sundae.
Melissa said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:16 pm
Definitely cookies and cream ice cream! Though that might get a little boring to knit, so I think for knitting purposes I’d go with key lime pie…
Sherri said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:18 pm
It’d have to be a huge slice of pumpkin pie. I wait until October every year for the bakeries in our area to break out all the stops. The best I’ve ever tasted was one a co-worker made last year where it was pumpkin, but with a glistening praline topping. She brought it in fresh from her oven and we got to taste it warm and delicious. *drool*
Elaine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:19 pm
Cheesecake with blueberries!
Alexis Tabor said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:21 pm
I’d probably knit a strawberry shortcake. I adore strawberries. Love. Praise. Obsess…mmm strawberries.
Oh! And I’m learning Latin because I’m majoring in Classics (roman myth, archeolosy, history) and I had to either take Greek or Latin.
sara b said,

It’s so hard to choose just one favorite dessert! I think a spoon full of peanut butter with m&m’s on top
Rae-Ann said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:24 pm
cheesecake, definitely cheesecake. Since I’m not eating sugar I guess knitting up a sweet treat would be the next best thing…
Lesley said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:27 pm
A big fat slice of NY cheesecake with raspberry sauce and a few berries on top – nothing more, nothing less!!!
Jan said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:30 pm
It’s a toss up for me between French (chocolate) silk pie (I’m with you, Castiron!) or chocolate pecan pie. There’s a great recipe for the latter in one of the Moosewood cookbooks and a story about someone making it for Eudora Welty. I think they may even call it something like Miss Eurdora’s pie.
Oh dear, where is that cookbook. Must. Make. Pie. Immediately!

Key Lime pie – the real stuff from Sanibel Island, Florida.

Strawberry short cake with whip cream on top would be my first choice, my second would be key lime pie mmmmmm just thinking about it makes me hungry for something sweet!!
Karyn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:41 pm
I have to have carrot cake with cream cheese frosting between the layers and on top for my first choice.
Kelly said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:43 pm
LOLOL Great question!!! I’d be knitting cake, birthday cake. Preferably lemon, absolutely NOT of the chocolate variety (yeah, weird I don’t like chocolate). Yummy, yummy.
Kristen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 5:46 pm
I would make a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk. I make great cookies. Mmmm cookies…

A blueberry crisp with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Whew.

If I knit my favorite desserts, well.. I’d be knitting for a long time. Dessert is my FAVORITE food group! haha.
I’d probably knit (or bake) a yellow cake w/ chocolate frosting or lemon meringue pie. yum. Now I’m hungry!
Karen in Toledo said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:05 pm
cherry pie is what I would knit… probably with some high quality vanilla ice cream on top!
Anna said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:08 pm
Favorite dessert? There are so many – how do I choose just one? My mom’s (now my sister’s) blueberry torte is a family favorite, but my cousin’s wife makes an almond pound cake that is to die for and she serves it with strawberries and cool whip. Yum!!
Katy said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:12 pm
I’d knit up some tapioca pudding, although that would be a pretty boring-looking knit dessert – stockinette with a few purl bumps mixed in? So maybe I’d go with my other favorite, sticky rice with coconut milk and mango slices. Delicious!
Janet said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:13 pm
Mile-high lemon meringue pie. Yummmm!
GinkgoKnits said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:13 pm
That’s such a hard question! I’ll go with my classic favorite, the chocolate eclair (custard filling only please). But, there are too many wonderful desserts out there to have only one favorite.
Karin said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:15 pm
I would knit up a banana split, with all the fixin’s! Nothing is better on a hot summer day.
Dawn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:16 pm
It would have to be chocolate cake…or maybe mint chocolate chip ice cream. I could think of a dozen more, but will just leave it at that.
Rasa said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:16 pm
Oh soooo hard to choose…big fan of creme brulee and tiramisu…but it is summer, so I must choose a cobbler – any fruit will do:)
Samantha said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:17 pm
Hmmm, I’d like to eat a brownie but I’m not sure it would be all that interesting to knit. Maybe a cinnamon roll or strawberry cheesecake. Yum.
Mary said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:23 pm
I would choose a white chocolate chunk cookie with Macadamia nuts but I would settle for ANY flavor concrete from Ted Drewes complete with spoon !
Sue said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:24 pm
For me it would be almost anything dark chocolate. But If I had to pick one thing it would be the warm lava cake we had on our cruise 2 years ago.
Liz G. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:25 pm
Oh goodness – I don’t know how I’d do it – but one of those chocolate lava cakes! Maybe some worsted for the cake with something silky for the “lava”
Erin said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:26 pm
I absolutely love those chocolate lava cakes with the molten chocolate inside. I’m not sure how you could replicate the melty part in knitting, though — maybe with some roving spilling out?
Stacey_CrimsonPurl said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:29 pm
Coming out of lurkdom as I can never get my hands on Wollmeise yarn! So figured I would take a chance on the contest
I have a HUGE sweet tooth!! And if I knitted one of my many many favorite desserts it would be Key Lime Pie or anything with strawberries!! Yum!!!
Brianna said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:30 pm
Wellll, if we’re talking 2D desserts, I’d have to go for a chocolate chip cookie (preferably with oatmeal)! If we’re talking 3D, probably a chocolate-peanut butter pie. With whipped cream! And chocolate and peanut butter sauces! I wonder how to knit those… an i-cord, perhaps?
vismajor said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:33 pm
I’d knit up a key lime pie.

Oh, it would have to be German Chocolate Cake …. nothing better than caramel, coconut and chocolate in one dessert. German Chocolate Cake ice cream is a nice substitute sometimes!
mitzi said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:42 pm
hhmmm…I think lemon chiffon cake or tiramisu or caramel cheesecake or rice pudding or….hhhmmmm
colleen said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:43 pm
mmm, peanut butter pie or chocolate covered pretzles (and a Diet Coke)
Adina said,

Pumpkin Pie. With real whipped cream. I am forever in search of the perfect pumpkin pie colored yarn….

June 17, 2009 @ 6:46 pm
I will be unoriginal and would love to knit an oreo…although, seeing it around might spark unneeded and unwanted cravings…. I am changing my answer–I would like to see a whole, life sized roast turkey. Hmm…that could be a fun project!!
Katie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:49 pm
It would most definitely be creme brulee!!!
Debra I said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:49 pm
That fruit tart is adorable! I love how she sectioned the slice of peach (or whatever that is). Desserts, hmm, that’s a tough one. I love dessert! How about a fruit trifle, you know, layered fruit and creamy lusciousness? Or maybe a German chocolate cake? Nah, that’d be too easy. I looked at her strawberries and cream dessert on Etsy — this lady is Very Talented. Oh, an eclair~! That would be a challenge.
Bobbie said,

Hariamrit said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:50 pm
I cannot eat sugar so anything sweet would do it for me. But my dream dessert would be a big big tub of chocolate mousse.
Betty said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:50 pm
mmmmm, desserts! So I guess that disqualifies bacon. Okay. I can get into the sweets too. I think a beautiful apricot-glazed fruit tart with strawberries and kiwi and mango on a lovely caramel-colored sweet pastry shell. Of course, who wouldn’t want to roll around in — er, knit a delicious creme brulee? Or red velvet cake with a rich cream cheese frosting? Who needs bacon anyway?
Tamara said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:52 pm
It would be either Cherry or Coffee Cheesecake for me! Yum!
Jill said,
June 17, 2009 @ 6:54 pm
A hefty slice of pound cake covered with strawberries and smothered in whipped cream. Better to knit it than eat it considering the calories!
Kim B. said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:04 pm
Yum…French Vanilla or Caramel Creme Brulee would be my choice of a dessert to knit.
Nice that KD is doing a lace project while she is home this summer. She will find it as addicting as sock knitting, I suspect. Does she get any time to knit while at school? Bet not much.
It is great the two of you can work together in the family business this summer. Best wishes to your son in his move and new job!

Key lime cheese-cake!! or wait, cherry pie … with a lattice crust.

Amanda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:08 pm
Boy howdy! I’d totally knit up some raspberry swirl cheesecake. It seems to me that variegated yarn would be perfect since swirled cheesecake looks so similar to variegated yarn when it’s knit up!
Kristina said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:09 pm
I’d love to knit up cheese fries… maybe it would help my “addiction” to them since I’ve become pregnant.

I would love to knit up a very large plain Cheese Cake with chocolate cookie crust and very large whole strawberries dipped in chocolate all over the top. Then I could keep it on the dining room table and have lust in my heart all day long. Boy, you know you are getting old when your lust turns from Tom Sellick’s short shorts to cheese cake. What happened to me
Michelle said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:19 pm
I think that a knitted slice of watermelon would be something that I would enjoy seeing on our kitchen table. Maybe a little sliced kiwi on the side, a few cherries…
Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate and cookies and other yummy desserts, but the fruit platter would be so pretty to have on display, oh, and those pesky little fruit flies wouldn’t be tempted to hang around…
Jocelyn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:20 pm
Definitely chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmmm…. Or else strawberry shortcake. Or maybe a lovely peach cobbler. Or else the spice cake I’m making tonight for DH’s birthday tomorrow. Or…
I like dessert, apparently.
Windy Brown said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:23 pm
I think that if I had to knit up a desert…it would be Mrs Fields Devil’s Food cake with chocolate icing. It is so so so rich and chocolate that I just LOVE it! I only make it once a year because it has so much butter in it that I know that it is not that good for you.
Catrina said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:33 pm
Oooo . . . coconut cream pie! Gosh, now how am I going to satisfy *that* craving??
Mary R said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:38 pm
I’m partial to fruit tarts and apple pies. Of course, I like strawberry shortcake and would love to see that knit up. But perhaps my favorite dessert is what we call Whoopie Pies (here in Massachusetts, in other places they are sometimes called Black Moons). LOVE those!
Beth Gray said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:42 pm
My favorite dessert is my rum cake, but it wouldn’t look like much knit up. What I would like to see knit up is a bunch of different apples in a very fine yarn with tiny needles to put them in my big hearth size “bowl” in an arrangement.
April said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:43 pm
MMm….cherry cheesecake! It’s the perfect dessert…a little crunch, smooth creamy tangy-ness (yes, I made that up!) and sweet/tart cherries. A match made in heaven!
Debbie said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:45 pm
Deep-dish blackberry pie or Tres Leches cake. The blackberry pie would make for more interesting color while knitting, but oh, my Tres Leches cake is scrumptious! I’d have to knit the Tres Leches cake out of some kind of cashmere and silk combination–just to do it luscious justice.
Charmaine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:46 pm

Maureen Janda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:56 pm
My favorite dessert is a no-flour chocolate cake, demanded by everyone for holidays since I first made it. But it’s not really that interesting to look at.
Wouldn’t a knitted wedding cake be fun?
Jane said,
June 17, 2009 @ 7:58 pm
Absolutely a cookie!!! I’ve always been a Cookie Monster, at least 25 years before Sesame Street.

I’d love to see Strawberry Shortcake knit up. It was always my favorite and what I wanted on my birthday. But of course, my birthday is in February and that’s not strawberry season in New England……..
julieanne said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:19 pm
I’d take a strawberry cupcake (or a whole cake, for that matter). It’s one of those things I look forward to for my birthday each year. My friend makes these amazing caramel brownies, and that’s definitely a top favorite as well.
just lori said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:20 pm
I’d be making a sliver of Key Lime Pie. Made right, you only need a sliver of the pie to satisfy your sweet tooth.
And I’d make it the right color, too. The yarn would have to be a pale yellow, with flecks of green in it, and a graham-crackery brown color for the crust. If I was writing a pattern, the crust wouldn’t be symmetrical at the “rim edge” either–it would have “crumbled” a little on one side, because that’s what a balanced crust does.
Good thing I know how to make my own pie–I want one now!
Danielle said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:22 pm
Ooh… it would be fun to knit up a chocolate Bundt cake!
Robin Pearce said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:25 pm
Since a pattern for ice cream cones already exists how about Lemon Meringue Pie? It would be very pretty with the yellow and white. Blast! Now I want pie!

I would like to have a knitted bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream. In fact, I think I’ll have a real bowl now.

Oh gosh, choosing just one yummy dessert to knit up. It is a hard choice, but I think a good old fashioned buttercream birthday cake with big roses. Its a classic!
Alyssa said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:53 pm
I haven’t met a dessert I don’t like, but if I were to knit just one it would have to be lemon meringue pie. I’m so in love with yellow (and lemons) right now!
Robin said,
June 17, 2009 @ 8:54 pm
I LOVE dessert! My favorite is a chocolate pyramid (about 5″ tall)made of thin layer of chocolate candy and filled with chocolate mousse- They made it at the Coach and Six restaurant in Atlanta many years ago- I keep trying to replicate it in an edible way maybe knitting it would work.
Deidra said,

Tiramisu. Hands down my favorite dessert of all time.

I’ve had Schaum Torte for my birthday cake since I was about 6. Baked meringue, with fresh raspberries, ice cream and whipped cream. Heaven! I haven’t had it the past 2 years, since my mom died just before my birthday 2 years ago, and I didn’t want to make it for myself last year. I think this year I’ll have to do it–calculate the extra insulin I’ll need!

Kay said,

Have you ever made that chocolate cake recipe on the side of the Hershey’s Cocoa box? It is soooooooo moist and good. I don’t even bother frosting it. I just dust it with powdered sugar and it’s great. I think I’d like that cake in layers knitted. Yummmm! Or would I rather have a peach cobbler (southern style with pastry)?? Can’t decide! lol

death by chocolate.. it’s a 3 layer devil’sfoodcake with chocolate cream filling, chocolate ganache, and 2 scoops of chocolate chocolatechip ice cream (funny side story. i worked at this steak house, where that was a favored dessert. someone ordered it with vanilla ice cream instead, and called it mutilation by chocolate, lol!)

OK. Trying not to be a fan of desserts because I’ve had too many…
tho i loooove choc-orange (genoise layers w/choc ganache…)
So. I’d like to see a rack of lamb–a crown! knitted up–complete with the little white paper caps on the ends of the chops…

My favorite dessert is simple – a brownie with ice cream and hot fudge! I would eat one every day if my waistband would let me
jaci said,
June 17, 2009 @ 10:16 pm
Well, she already has carrot cake which is my favorite! I’d have to say creme brulee also.
Linda said,
June 17, 2009 @ 10:23 pm
I would be knitting up Key Lime Pie with whipped cream and a lime slice. Of course I’m not picky about dessert so I could knit up any number of things from chocolate chip cookies to chocolate cake. The trouble is that a knitted version would either send me to the kitchen or out to Whole Foods or someplace else for the real thing.
debbie said,

i would love to do a bowl of hot fudge sundae or slice of chocolate cake – maybe we can do a virtual potlluck kal sometime in the future….

June 17, 2009 @ 10:31 pm
I would knit up a vanilla swirl ice cream – like the ones served at McDonald’s… mmm…
LOVE the knitted pastries!
Mary said,
June 17, 2009 @ 10:41 pm
Carrot cake with lots of cream cheese frosting, or brownies a la mode with peanut butter fudge sauce, or a chocolate chip cookie, or a gooey cinnamon roll or, or, or…I could go on for a long time. I have a sweet tooth the size of Alaska.
Elaine said,
June 17, 2009 @ 10:50 pm
Raspberry-white chocolate cheesecake with oreo cookie crust! That’s my favorite dessert and I think it would be awesome as a knitted pastery. (It sure would have fewer calories, too.)
Dawn said,
June 17, 2009 @ 11:10 pm
I’d knit my grandmother’s rhubarb custard pie! I LOVE rhubarb…rhubarb jam, rhubarb butter, rhubarb cake, rhubarb crisp, but nothin’ beats grandma’s pie! I grow several batches of rhubarb and always cut enough to put in the freezer and make rhubarb goodies all year long.
My second choice would be own chocolaty-chocolate cake with lip-smackin’ cinnamon chocolate frosting.
Lael said,
June 17, 2009 @ 11:13 pm
Do we have to pick only one?? Chocolate pie, chocolate chip cookies, turtle sundae, – heck, just about anything with dark chocolate will do!!!
DebbieO said,
June 17, 2009 @ 11:22 pm
How do you choose just one favorite dessert?! I love pumpkin pie, chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate orange ice cream, coconut cream pie, and on and on. Since it is berry season, we’ve been having lots of berry shortcake lately.
Erica said,
June 17, 2009 @ 11:28 pm
I think I’d knit a giant bowl of ice cream, with some handspun chocolate sauce, and of course a cherry on top! It’d be great to use a white tweed with black flecks for a chocolate chip ice cream, and of course that lovely shade of pink cascade 220 for the bowl. I’ve made myself crave ice cream now!

Mette said,

Well, I am a sucker for mint chocolate chip cookies. If I saw some knitted up I would probably try to eat them
Becky said,
June 18, 2009 @ 5:08 am
It’s not my absolute favorite, but I think spumoni would make a good knitted project. Spumoni-colored afghan, maybe?
Danielle from SW MO said,
June 18, 2009 @ 5:46 am
McAllisters Deli used to serve the most Delicious Pecan pie only they called it Kentucky Pie because it had a fudge brownie base and chocolate mixed into the pecan center of the pie itself, Yummy!! It was served with your choice of Vanilla or Chocolate Ice cream. I’m betting it would look divine knitted up!
Jen said,
June 18, 2009 @ 5:53 am
I would definitely be knitting some creme brulee or tiramisu. Both….so…..delicious!
nancy said,
June 18, 2009 @ 6:23 am
Although I love tirimisu and creme brulee is something I cannot resist, my favorite dessert is my grandma’s lemon sponge pie. So tart it makes your tonsils squinch up and my mouth water just thinking about it. Anything lemon usually works for me, lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, just a good, tart, from scratch lemon pudding is delish. Rhubarb custard pie would work also. Yummm.
The shawls are all looking so pretty. I hope KD enjoys her first lace experience. It can be a magical thing, lace. Kinda like a butterfly when it just emerges, and then the wings expand and the magic happens.

A fabulous ice cream sundae. I can see Dream in Color semi-solids as the ingredients, and maybe some of the variegated at the bottom where all hot fudge and ice cream run together. My mouth is watering thinking about this.

Key Lime pie would be my favorite. Ice cream sundae for my son.
Hollis said,

Definitely Key Lime Pie! But it would not be green. True Key Lime Pie is a pale yellow (the color of the key lime juice); the green ones are dyed! Oh I love it so.

I think that my favorite right now is any kind of ice cream! I can just picture a banana split in my mind with bright bananas and delicious mounds of ice cream! Yummm
Chan said,
June 18, 2009 @ 8:25 am
My favorite dessert? This time of year, strawberry shortcake. But wait – tiramisu is always good, and a REAL key lime pie… In the cooler seasons, I’d go for pumpkin and/or pecan pie.
Linda said,
June 18, 2009 @ 8:27 am
Lovely and delicious! I’d love to knit (eat?) a doublefudge brownie with pecans and a large scoop of coffee ice cream on the side. (A bit of whipped cream on the brownie wouldn’t be bad either.)
Bernadete said,

Heather said,
June 18, 2009 @ 8:33 am
I don’t know about knit up, but my favourite dessert this time of year is lemon meringue pie. My local butcher/grocer makes an amazing one, and I have to restrict myself to only one slice per week or I’ll overindulge & gain way too much weight!
I do think it’d be neat to see a really elaborate Baked Alaska all knit up, though…

That’s a tough question because I am a foodie. I think most of all, I’d like to see a grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato soup (with cheese sprinkled on top, of course) in knitted form. And for dessert, I’d like a slice of German Chocolate Cake.
) Okay, I’m making myself drool, so I better stop thinking about this.

Strawberry Tart. Or Shortcake. Or cheesecake. Oh, pretty much anything with strawberries

Jenna S said,
June 18, 2009 @ 9:26 am
Hmm, I think I’d also have to go for Rhubarb Pie. I love it, and the rhubarb season is a short one, so you have to get it while you can.
Steph said,
June 18, 2009 @ 9:39 am
flan…or creme brulee….or profiteroles.
Elise said,
June 18, 2009 @ 9:41 am
Hmmm…. that’s a toughie. I think my absolute favorite dessert is rhubarb pie, just because I don’t get a chance to have it very often. Also it would be cute knitted up. I also have been enjoying chocolate ice cream sandwiches, but I don’t think they could be as cute as a piece of pie!

Anything chocolate. Every year for my birthday, my MIL bakes this fabulous chocolate cake – made with buttermilk, and homemade chocolate icing. It is fabulous. My FIL also gets it for his birthday. That’s the only two times a year that she makes it. Unfortunately for us, our birthdays are in the same month. So that means we have to go 11 months with no fabulous cake.
Maybe I should knit a piece, don’t you think?

Elaine said,
June 18, 2009 @ 11:51 am
My absolute favorite dessert is a simple little shatteringly-thin anise flavored pizzelle. Maybe it’s because I only make them at Christmas, and once-a-year treats are always special. To knit it, I would use some golden, butter-hued silk and knit a tiny Girasole pattern.
Gina said,
June 18, 2009 @ 11:52 am
It is a toss up between a few. I love Dove Dark chocolate, but for knitting it would be either Spice Cake with Butter Brickle Icing, because I can’t find the icing anymore or Chocolate Croissant, because the only good ones of these are in Europe.
Debbie M said,
June 18, 2009 @ 12:07 pm

Jen said,
June 18, 2009 @ 12:55 pm
I’d knit strawberry shortcakes- mostly because I just recently made this (http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/strawberry-shortcakes/) recipe and it was to die for. And since it’s not good for me to eat this every night, (maybe every other night though), I could at least look at the knit version and still have that same warm fuzzy feeling about the dessert.
Becky said,

Ice cream, hands down! I *really* love the Oatmeal Cookie Chunk flavor from Ben & Jerry’s.

Oh gee whiz, I wish I could just be happy looking at potato chips and not wanting to eat them. Would much rather have starch and salt than something sweet and gooey. And my waist line is showing the result! So a plate of chips would be perfect to sit beside my computer at work.
Love those knitted pastries. Too cute!

Wow! Tough question. For me it’s a toss-up between Boston Cream Pie and my grandmother’s gorgeous six-layer coconut cake. Not sure what yarn you’d use for grated coconut, but it’d be fun to try and figure it out.
Good luck to KD on her Girasole and first attempt at chart reading. I’m also cranking out a Girasole at the moment (although not an official KAL member) and I have to agree that this pattern is a wonderful introduction to lace. What else would we expect from the BTweed-man himself?!

I love desserts! The idea of a knitted dessert item is really great – no calories LOL!!
I would love to see a box of chocolates knitted up – I think that would be so cute. Really anything chocolate would just be wonderful – if you can’t tell I’m a huge chocolate fan!!
Amy said,
June 18, 2009 @ 3:54 pm
My favorite dessert is actually brownies, really sinful ones with walnuts. However, I do not think a knitted dark brown square would be very appetizing. So as far as what would be fun to knit, and pretty, I’d have to go with a banana split! Which I do enjoy from time to time as well.

How about Chocolate Raspberry Torte—-my friend makes it for special occasions. In fact, her daughter chose that instead of a traditional wedding cake when she got married. It was delicious!! Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are great, too! Mmm chocolate and anything!
Janet said,

I would love to have a strawberry milk shake with whipped cream and a cherry knit up. Just thinking about it makes me want to whip out my blender and mix one up.
Seanna Lea said,
June 18, 2009 @ 4:28 pm
Oh, I love dessert too much to pick just one!
My favorite desserts are ice cream based, but I don’t think that would be terribly exciting on its own. So, how about an ice cream cone with a bite taken out.
As for savory foods, I think I would need to knit a samosa. They are a perfect snack food and I really should make myself some, because I’ve been thinking about them for days!
Nina said,
June 18, 2009 @ 5:20 pm
I would knit a creme brulee, although now that I think about it that would be rather hard to knit. How would one simulate the crackly sugary coating? Perhaps that is why I would rather eat one than knit one! Or perhaps just a dish of ice cream with some crushed up Joe-joe’s and peanut butter. That is my other favorite dessert.
gina hanft said,

Jean said,
June 18, 2009 @ 6:01 pm
You’re going to be busy, reading all of these comments, but that won’t stop me from leaving one…
I love doughnuts, so I would like to see a bear claw (complete with three dollops of whipped cream topped with maraschino cherries) like the kind I remember from my childhood. I lived kitty corner from a bakery growing up (oh the smell–I can smell a neighborhood bakery from miles away now) and they had the best bear claws…
Of course, a knitted pina colada with a little umbrella might be fun too
Wasie said,
June 18, 2009 @ 6:02 pm
OMG! So many great desserts! Lately we have been loving the ice cream treats at coldstone creamery. My favorite one there is “coffee lovers only” in one of those chocolate-dipped waffle bowls! That would look so cute knit up! And lots less calories too!

Well, I wish I could have some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory… yum!!! Darn ocean in the way…. I guess I have two favorites that I get from there… it’s Tirimisu cheesecake or Key Lime cheesecake… ooooh, tasty…
But, the one dessert I’ll always remember (that my siblings and I made a special trip for late in the day once….) Frisch’s Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream in the middle and Fudge on top… nope, sorry, don’t remember the actual name… but, that’s o.k. we know what we’re talking about… yum!!!!
Most of all… I would love to buy her patterns so I could make some myself! talk about oooh, and aaaaahss!!

hmmm, i do love a good carrot cake, but think how fun a strawberry shortcake would be to knit, the whip cream, the berries, the cake!! Or how about a big glass of iced-caffe! with a fun straw. Hubby would be easy, cheesecake or a big tiramisu!

I would like to make A fruit tart! I love fruit tarts and just to lengthen it a little: I would use giuandia for the crustm simply pink or roter himbeermund for the strawberries, kornblume for the blueberries, jultomte for the raspberrys, and fratello for the chocolate piece:D
Laurie said,
June 18, 2009 @ 10:27 pm
I think my very favorite dessert is pecan pie. I always make it for Thanksgiving because most of my family doesn’t like it and then I get to eat most of the pie! I don’t know how appetizing it would look as a knitted item, though.
Allen said,
June 18, 2009 @ 10:54 pm
Totally boring – pound cake… it is my absolute favorite. Followed by red velvet cake – the real, southern kind (that one would be more fun to knit).
Jill said,
June 18, 2009 @ 11:15 pm
I would pick dark dark chocolate cheesecake. For me there is no such thing as too dark when it comes to chocolate, so you could use black yarn and it would still look yummy!

choices. choices. choices. For nostalgia’s sake, I’d go for what we called “whipped cream cake” in my family—–a dark chocolate 2-layer cake with whipped cream as the frosting. Heavenly. Maybe I can make one at our family reunion in July, so I won’t have to eat it all myself (my own kids don’t like whipped cream—weird!).
Of course, if we can stray from the sweets category, I get a good giggle out of imagining how one would knit a plate of spaghetti and meatballs.

I would have to knit ice cream of some sort, either an ice cream cone or a hot fudge sundae!
Andrea said,
June 19, 2009 @ 9:03 am
Mine would be cheesecake.
Or maybe apple cobbler a la mode.
Or wait, maybe a big slab of chocolate cake with ice cream!
Or, no, perhaps a DQ Oreo Cookie blizzard. Or their turtle sundae. Or even the Brownie Batter Blizzard!
Dude, you’re making me hungry!

1) Mint chocolate chip ice cream in a pretzal cone. (Oh, it’s been way too long since I’ve had one of those!)
2) Slice of cherry pie with a crumbled topping. Last time my mom baked me something for my birthday, it was that – no cake for me, thank you. I much prefer pies.
3) Red bean tempura ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled over it.
Ok, I can’t think about this anymore. My list would be too long. Think I love dessert?!

I think it would be so cute to knit up a Whitman’s sampler! My father would buy one at Christmas every year, despite my mother’s protests, and then my sister and I would fight over who got the chocolate covered cherries. My mom would get mad because my dad would move to the second layer before the first was done – MAJOR no-no.
Lynn said,

I’m not sure if having knitted desserts sitting around my house would be a good idea because it would just remind me of the real desserts I could be having! But I think it would be fun to knit up my favorite dessert – my mom’s red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. Yum!
Kathlene Larson said,
June 19, 2009 @ 10:35 am
My choice would be my mother’s Red Velvet cake. The red yarn color would be a challenge to match, since this cake has a small amount of cocoa in it, along with red food coloring. It gives the cake a warm red color that I associate with SO many joyous events – family birthdays, christenings, and anniversaries. My mother is 79 this year, and we all gather round her when she starts giving lessons on how to bake this cake since our years with her are so precious now.

Well… These days, strawberry short cake, made with drop biscuits is one idea.
I better go have some while I think of another idea!
Sue said,

From an aesthetic point of view, I think a simple slice of lemon meringue pie would knit up beautifully. The meringue in a light white mohair with a touch of sheen; a sunny, custardy yellow; and a thin, flaky brown pie crust. Cherry pie with a lattice top might be pretty — and challenging, too.
The sweet I would most love to knit up, however, and send by the bag to my very favorite yarn purveyor in the world, would be Hershey’s kisses.
Lisa said,

I’d knit up a tiramisu, to look just like the slice my husband and I had at our wedding — tiramisu as wedding cake is a very, very good thing and the owner of the cafe we had as our reception venue baked an exquisite one. Plus, I could bring out the topper we had, an Ernie and Bert figurine, and present it to my husband on our tenth anniversay next year. If not a traditional dessert, I’d vote for small fruits and vegtables — saw a knitted corn on the cob somewhere online and the thought of it still makes me smile.
Kathy said,
June 19, 2009 @ 12:41 pm
banana bread, made w/real bananas and a touch of applesauce. So the knitted version would feature a loaf, a freshly cut slice and for color, some real, perfectly yellow bananas.

Hmmm…my favorite dessert may be pot de creme au chocolat but I don’t think that would be very interesting knitted up…a little pot with dark brown in it.
I’d love to see knitted brussel sprouts…or peas! In the pod, of course.
A knitted starfruit might be a challenge.

I’d have to knit sherry trifle. But the way I make it which is better than any other recipe we’ve tried. Come out to see us in CA sometime and I’ll make it for you. One reason I don’t make it often is it ends up being too much dessert unless you have a lot of people over.
Anna said,
June 19, 2009 @ 5:59 pm
I love a *very* wide range of desserts, but I think if I had to pick one, it would probably be home-made lemon meringue pie, where the lemon filling is nice and sour. It’d be fun to knit up too – all of those contrasting textures would make for fun yarn experimentation!
Susan said,
June 19, 2009 @ 7:21 pm
Best dessert ever!! Apple, cranberry pie – baked in a brown paper bag. A recipe from a friend, who got it from her grandmother-in-law. Now, her teenage son bakes it for the holidays. Always request a “birthday pie” instead of a cake. A nice tradition – using his great grandmothers recipe.
Michelle said,

Jennifer said,
June 19, 2009 @ 8:35 pm
I’d knit my favourite dessert of all time — it was something my grandmother made and it was called Aunt Lilian’s Chocolate Icebox Dessert. (You can tell it was obviously a product of the 20s or 30s by the reference to “icebox”). Clearly it was food from the time before they realized that arteries are fragile things and as prone to clogging as the pipes in a bathroom full of long-haired teenaged girls.
It’s essentially a chocolate mousse in a springform pan lined with handmade ladyfingers, and then turned out, slathered in whipped cream and candied cherries. It’s one of those things with a pound of sugar, a pound of butter, and 8 eggs plus whatever amount of chocolate. It has the texture of silk, the look of ice cream and the density of concrete. It’s also flavoured with Grand Marnier or Amaretto or something. A very small bowl goes a long way, especially after Christmas dinner (which is the only time of the year we could convince my mother to make it).
It wouldn’t be as interesting to knit as a lovely martini glass of fruit salad pieces, but it has more personality.

Now I’m going to make that gateau tee hee…..and we had the pie last week…oh, Sheri…that was to die for and the kids…unfortunately…ate the last piece.

Tough question! I mean, chocolate cake is always a winner. Mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate ganache sauce, too.
However, for sentimental reasons, as well as taste, I’d have to say my mother’s (and grandmother’s) Armenian rice pudding. Lovely, light (no eggs, just milk, water, rice, sugar, and cinnamon) and it feels like a connection to my past as well.
A challenge, to be sure, but I bet someone could figure out how to do it!
Suzanne said,

OK, something that could be knit – a Georgia peach. But, it must be a Georgia peach. No Texas, California, or other state’s peaches. Georgia peaches have rocked my world since my great grandmother introduced me to them as a mere child. If I can’t travel to Georgia to get summer peaches, I pay the exorbitantly high prices to have a case sent to Texas. Fresh peaches, frozen peach slices straight from the freezer, peach ice cream, peach cobbler, peach jam. Heaven!

I love Creme Brulee too, but i think it would look too boring to knit, I think any kind of crepe would be a pretty easy round to knit and you could fill it with just about any favorite filling. in fact, you could knit the crepe and then change out the fillings as they appealed to you;) Yum…. I had some lovely crepes in London, raspberry with creme custard & white chocolate filling… covered with whipped fresh cream of course… i can taste them now…I wish i had found that place the first day I would have eaten there everyday i was visiting!

I also like pecan pie, but I have no idea how I would knit that!

For the variety in the knitting, I would make peanut butter chip and jelly bars. There is a crumb topping with peanut butter chips that would require some bumps on top and then the jelly in the middle would add some color, maybe some little beads in the jelly for seeds.
