Easter is my favorite holiday. I’m not referring to the religious aspects of the day; I’ll leave that to those who are more qualified than I am in that department. I’m talking about the leaves popping out on the trees, and anticipating the baby ducks on the lake. I love the tulips and daffodils outside my window, and planning an egg dyeing extravaganza. And Peeps. I admit it, I love Peeps. I even admit to putting them in the microwave for a few seconds, then putting hot fudge sauce on them. I have been known to serve this for dessert for spring dinner parties.
I’ve done considerable web research for this post. I have searched numerous Peep sites. You have no idea how many there are. Here are just two:
Marshmallow Peeps: The Official Just Born Site
In my extensive research, I have not found any knitting related Peep sites. So I did a photo shoot of my own, with the assistance of my husband/accomplice. No Peeps were harmed in this activity (though a few were eaten).
Yes, gin was involved.
Here they are!
I think it’s going to be a sweater.
I did actually knit today, on a real garment. It’s just that it looks the same as the previous picture. You guessed it, just more rows. I might promise to post a picture of it tomorrow just to give me some motivation to knit more tonight.
Way to cute on the peeps. Perhaps you have hit on a new market, knitters and holidays. 🙂
I think Mariko of SuperEggplant had some peep info on her knitting blog. I love the knitting photo.
What a talented peep! Great photo – thanks for the laugh!
I can’t believe you did that to a peep! But it’s very funny!
Oh, too cute. 🙂
Peeps abuse has a long and lettered history. See below:

I think he’s making eyes at your little knitter. [grin]
Looks like everyone is making rogue. I”m in the process of swatching for rogue using a beautiful cascade 220 red. Good luck!
Carolyn of Girlreaction sent me over here. I, too, adore Peeps. I wanted to knit some little Peeps, but alas, I am not clever enough. I love your knittin’ Peeps. Are you a member of the Peeps Fan Club?
I can see it now…Peeps knitting for every holiday. Heck, I didn’t even know there was a Peeps Fan Club!
Peeps! Love ’em.
Oh, gin was involved! If only I had known. 🙂
Hehe…that knitting peep is a riot!
I LOVE peeps, too. I like them ‘hardened.’ When I was a kid, my mom (uh, Easter bunny) would make the baskets and put the peeps in overnight. They would harden on the outside to a sort of soft crunch and then wow – great eating!
Love the knitting Peep rabbit – cool!

Love it!
Ever thought of knitting _a_ peep?

Hi, I’m deborah. I’m a big fan of knitting and crochet. I loved that rabbit peep knitting that was very funny. where did you come up with that? I love it, reminds me of when mom used to tell me not to play with my food. I don’t know why but that comment(about dont play in your food) was very funny. I crochet “pillow mice” ( mice in the shape of small pillows)
