End of Candy Wrapper
SPECIAL NOTE: Before beginning your candy wrapper edges we need to sew both pieces of our candies together. You can use dressmaking pins to hold both pieces in place while sewing them together. Sew the pieces together by sewing through the stitches in the last rnd of both candies together. Before sewing your candy completely shut stuff your candy firmly.
Row1: Insert your hook into a stitch on the edge of your candy, where you'd like your wrapper end to begin. Sc x 4 (4)
Row2: Turn, ch, inc, sc x 2, inc (6)
Row3: Turn, ch, inc, sc x 4, inc, fasten off (8) **Repeat for the other end of your wrapper**
Assembly
Sew on a mouth and eyes. Sew on the red peppermint swirl. Weave in all ends and trim them.

Hey everybody! Shortly into our CALs we realized that our out-of-the-box blog comment system wouldn't let us reply to your comments.
We've since installed Disqus, above, which allows you guys to respond to each other and us to reply to your questions; seems like a no-brainer!
We will continue to display existing comments from the old comment system on all existing blog posts. All future commenting will be done through Disqus. Enjoy!
