I made a blanket with arms

So we started watching this old war show called "Combat". It's on some weird cable chanell that we hardly ever watch, but we found this show interesting, so we started recording it. Well, it had a lot of comericals for the "Snuggie" here's a picture:
It's basically a blanket with sleeves, so that you can stay bundled up and warm, and still do stuff like hold a book, or grab something to drink. Well, we thought it was a pretty good idea, but we weren't about to call up and order one (at 19.95 with 9.95 s/h), so instead we went to Joannes

and bought fleece, and I made one. The first prototype I made didn't work as well as I'd like (the sleeves were way too small) so I came up with a different idea for a pattern, and it worked very nicely. I've actually gone ahead and made one for Jason and even Westley (with some Tigger fleece). Lindsey took the proto-type, which fits her fine.

So I just thought I'd post about it. hope everyone is well.
