When I was a kid I used to hate eating peaches fresh. Their fuzz bothered my tongue. It only makes sense, right? Thankfully, today I do enjoy a nice, fresh, juicy peach. Last year we planted two lovely peach trees in our orchard and I am impatient for the year that it bears its first fruits. It'll be a couple more years, though. Good things come in time. Especially when it's a peach! For today's challenge I wanted to try two forms of peaches. A regular type peach shape and one shaped like those donut peaches. Have you ever tried one? I've really wanted to, although I'm sure they really don't taste any different -- minus the nuances that come in different cultivars. I think it's just that novelty shape that gets me! I'm definitely a sucker for something offered in a new form. I tried finding a pattern for a cool peach online, but I had no luck there. So, I took the time to whip up these two peaches on the fly this afternoon. I am pleasantly surprised at how well each turned out. I crocheted it with a nice peach colored yarn and added stem and leaf embellishes for a finishing touch. I am contemplating rubbing some rouge on them for a pretty blush, but quite honestly I am a little afraid to try. I'm sure it'd turn out okay in the end, but I DO like them just the way they are.
Right now I don't have them written down, so it'll take me some time to do that. You should be able to find the pattern on my Ravelry shortly.
