However, I will share my strawberry obsession and the trick I just learned. (Thanks, Lauren!)
First, you need strawberries--luscious, tasty, juicy, delicious strawberries

Then, take a straw--yes, a straw--insert it into the small end of the berry

and push it through. Off pops the leafy tip!

Repeat for all the strawberries. The larger ones may need an extra poke.
And soon you're left with strawberries with holes thru them, leafy tops and berry cores

Slice 'em up

and eat 'em.

I indulged in my once every strawberry season decadent treat--strawberries over chocolate ice cream!

Oh gosh, you make me wish I had stopped at the strawberry stand today. I think I'll have to go visit it soon. I loved that trick.
Lol about the needles and the mistakes. I won't ask.
10 min. after I commented, my daughter said, "Mom, there are strawberries in the refrigerator from the strawberry stand." I tried your trick and it was GREAT! Thanks!
Whoever heard of strawberries on chocolate ice cream?! Berries looks great. EVERY knitter makes mistakes. That's the wonderful and freeing think I learned on the internet.
What a clever trick. I will give it a try.
Ingenius. Why have I been spending forever cutting of the stem of strawberries when I could be dipping them in chocolate ice cream...w/ whip cream? You have my mouth watering
