Slanket or Fleece Caftan?
Recently Doug showed me an article he found in a Farm Show Magazine. It was about an online business selling a piece of clothing called the slanket. It is basically a big piece of fleece blanket with large sleeves. The slanket was originally designed for people who were using their laptops on their laps. It is hard to work on your laptop with your hands under your blanket!

I thought I can make a slanket for myself because my studio is a very cold room. But since I haven’t made one yet, today I am wearing my fleece rob over my normal clothes. I used to wear my denim jacket or an outdoor jacket while working in my studio but I think my fleece robe is a lot more comfortable and it keeps me warm too! Maybe instead of a slanket I should make a fleece caftan because the slanket does not have a back. A fleece caftan does sound like a splendid idea!
