DC area checking in. They are super popular right now, especially roasted or deep fried. Fortunately, I haven't seen anyone serving the boiled nasties my mom used to make...
All hail Queen Pepper!
Hey, it's the only thing I remember from linear algebra! That's the longest living sheep ever.
I love the bunny kicks. They are so dangerous, but so adorable...
Taffy is very cute! Is that belly a trap, or can you pet it?
Kitty!!
How do you tell them apart? They were very cute kittens.
Philly!! Looks great.
Cool! Post a picture if you make one. It's a little fiddly at the end, but fun and quick to make.
I used a random scrap of some terrible thick stuff from joann's. My advice would be to use a thinner piece of Aida or evenweave, or make a bigger rectangle. The corners were really difficult to squish shut.
Interesting to know about the origin of the word. I read somewhere that it is based on the shape of a candy, but I've never seen ones like that.
The shape reminds me of the little cardboard orange juice containers I had in elementary school. :)
I made a neat shape yesterday called a humybug. I'd never done one before. Followed the tutorial here: https://plushcat.blogspot.com/p/humbug-tutorial.html. You start with a rectangle and sew it into a little tetra shape. It's cute. I think it would make a good cat toy. :)
Snake, snaaaaaake!!
