it can be very challenging to select a present for a single dad. seems like a virus of some sort. when i teach crochet, i tend to joke that my mum thinks i cheat by using relatively heavy yarns (i.e. you tote them along with you to the beach, shove them in the sand and they hold your cocktail/beer/water while you lay back and catch some rays! these fish go straight from the harbor straight to the restaurants nearby. i love the high quality of the materials and the perfect fit.
