Thank you for the literal LOLs.

Beef tendons are not any weirder than sheep skin, and those things are still on the market. But I'm assuming the collagen-beef-tendon condoms actually help stop STIs, unlike sheep skin which only stops spermies.
Vegans won't be a fan, but it is good to have a non-latex option, as latex allergies are increasingly common.

Exactly! Which is why knitting is a labor of love only, for me as well.

Depends on your skills. It's definitely detailed and big enough that it requires some skills, and intarsia can be tricky until you really get it down.

Listen, I appreciate Wildfox going old-school medieval with their unicorn, but the UO version is just ugly and I WANT THE ASOS ONE, DAMMIT. C'mon capitalist retailers, you could make bank by reissuing this!

I think this would look lovely if it were black instead of white.

Ahhh, my people! ♥ Now I want hotdish for dinner.

Nope, you're right, there's a typo/missing word. It should read: "This is so Minnesotan that it makes the..."

<50 was my brother's graduating class, in a different town than mine.

I really want to know how big the high schools were that are in the study.
