It looks like a Snuggie, but it's sooooooo totally not!

[gloomcookie613.livejournal.com]

So everyone I know is raving about these Snuggie things. The first time I saw the commercial I:
A) Laughed really hard at the "cult of snuggie" before me
B) Said to myself, "it's a blanket with some sleeves on it, hell, even *I* could make that!
and
C) Cringed at the colour choices (even more-so since they put out their "designer" series with 'Bold leopard' and 'Fun-loving Zebra'!)

Well, I've seen them in stores and didn't like the feel of the fleece they use at all, so I didn't buy one. The weather here went from highs in the 60s(F) all the way down to a brrrr inducing 36F the past two nights. It got so cold on Thursday I decided enough was enough, there HAD to be a pattern out there for this thing and if there wasn't, I was determined to figure it out!

I found a pattern that's really good and FREE! It's also as horrifically simple to make as I originally thought when I saw the commercial.

(JoAnn's has fleece on sale until the 31st, so I'll probably head back tomorrow and snag some more! Guess what all the ladies in my family are getting for Xmas? hehe)

( Call it a Snuggie, a Slanket, or a Snuglet-doesn't matter, it's the warmth that counts! )

A question for the knitters

[aelfie.livejournal.com]

So I'm a newish Knitter. I'm working on a hat on circular needles. Somehow I've managed to put a twist into the hat itself. Will this fix itself after I'm done knitting the thing? Or am I just screwed and need to start over (again)

Thanks!
