After nagging my sister for ages, asking her what she'd like me to get her for Christmas, she finally told me that she'd like a crotchet blanket like I've got on my bed. She told me a week before Christmas, so I'm still crocheting it, it takes me ages to make blankets!

Beer mittens were a most thoughtful present, I'm going to make longer ones next time - maybe up to my elbows if I can stay focused on double crochet for that long.<br />I can just imagine that fluffy crochet bikini and water - luckily mine have added Lycra! xxx<br />Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-23801316176023882802018-01-05T14:11:29.714+00:002018-01-05T14:11:29.714+00:00I'm tempted to take up the gauntlet/mitten cha...I'm tempted to take up the gauntlet/mitten challenge. A friend gave me beer mittens for Christmas and very useful they are in our -13 temps!<br />Three crocheted bikinis to celebrate your sleek self: congratulations on the weight loss, Vix. It's hard work. Once upon a time, my sibling hosted a drinks party on his boat. A guest arrived wearing a crocheted bikini made with a fluffy yarn. My poor brother still closes his eyes in pain when he tells the story of what happened when the fluffy yarn got wet...
