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!

Drew, you'be been reading my mind! I love to eat ice cream right out of the container and when I met my husband, for my first Christmas gift he bought me a towel to wrap around the carton so I wouldn't freeze my hand, thus enabling me to consume more ice cream!!!! Thanks.
