New Free Pattern: Brain Freeze!
Now that summer is here it's time to sit outside, have some ice cream and enjoy ourselves! And now you can have that ice cream without your fingers freezing off by making this crocheted ice cream sleeve that I call "Brain Freeze". Enjoy!

Cute! You do know, however, that the crazy, sadistic ice cream makers think that one pint is four servings? It's certainly not that in MY world, but I'm just sayin'...

Brilliant idea! I made something like this for those push-up popsicles, and it works like a charm.
Thanks for the pattern!

I hope the pattern includes gallon sized sleeves.

I was looking forward to your pattern in Inside Crochet. I've been trying to access the issue that was scheduled for release on Monday (I thought?), I repeatedly get the message that the service is no longer available and my account will be credited. Do you have any news about this? Thank you.

My son is a pint eating ice cream fool. He will love it.
Thank You Drew.

Thanks for the awesome pattern, Drew! I made one in just a couple hours - it probably wouldn't have taken that long if it hadn't been my first time working with fpdc and bpdc. This was a perfect little pattern for learning those stitches. Now I have to make another one so my husband and I can each have one.

I am looking for an afghan that I found on the internet about a year ago and I can't now. It looked like real peppermint candies all sewn together and double yarn. Please help and thanks for your time,Christy
