It’s a Slanket! (But Homemade)

Bernat contributes some wonderful crochet and knitting patterns to FaveCrafts, and we love them for it. But I can’t help poking a little fun at their newest “Wrap-ghan” patterns, “the afghan with sleeves.” Let’s get real: the wrap-ghan is a Slanket. Or is it a Snuggie? Despite all the mockery of the great sleeved blanket recently, people really do love these things! Even while some of us are laughing at the slanket, inside we secretly want one don’t we?

OK, I confess. I was kind of suprised when the Snuggie became such a big joke. Is it because I am approaching 50? Is it because I am usually cold while I sit and knit/crochet on the sofa and a blanket only covers so much? Would I ever admit to my 4 grown children that I think it is a good idea? Heck no!!! But I may make one and hide it when they come over. Hee, Hee….
