Knitted thong?!

[susanjp]

I'm sure someone here posted about a thong/underwear knitted from candy! Fess up!

Was thinking with Valentine's coming up it could be a "treat"! ;)

Is it made from Strawberry Laces or something like that?

Come on, I DARE YOU!!!

I knit that for a friend's birthday a couple of years ago as a joke.

If you knit it, make sure you get very flexible licorice laces.
I also recommend storing it in a sealed container when it's done to keep it from drying out as well. ;)

My friend sat her thong on her kitchen table in it's container, and her boyfriend ate it out of the container.
I said that wasn't exactly the point. ;) :lol

I tried to make this for my friend for christmas but it kept breaking. I guess the air was too dry or the licorice was too stale. I must have tried 3 or 4 times before I gave up in disgust and ate the stuff.
