Is it crocheted?

Yup. Though once you have the pictures drawn, it shouldn't be difficult to knit it with two needles (is that the correct word?), as well.

Drawing the pictures as a first step wasn't all that easy either. I can probably teach a little class now about how each character is drawn - Bart is the simplest and easiest, with Homer a close second, even though he has more details. The girls are more complicated, with little Maggie having the most details and little things to pay attention to. Then I had to make the pictures smaller, so they would fit on somebody's head. And I had to smoosh the girls a bit so that the kipa wouldn't be even bigger than it already was.

Oh, wait, Minearverse is the crafts thread, isn't it? Oops. Too late.

Hey, if it means universal health care, I'm all for it.

How come we get stuck with the midwest?

But, then again, the natives are hostile.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was initially surprised that these didn't come out until after the election. But at Kat's link, I see the photographer intentionally hid them away in a safety deposit box until after the election, because she didn't want them used "for political purposes."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Barry was such a player.

So, I woke up early with a headache, took some advil and went back to bed and woke up late with a headache still. At least I'm on vacation!

I misread that as "crabs"... have you considered crab cakes?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm craving protein, so I'm going to Tokyo Lunch and getting chicken katsu-don.

Are you near a Cafe Metro? They have a pasta bar.

Hmm, is there some food that mixes both? A sandwich with - um, what? - or something?
