Heated poncho

My daughter and son have just sent me this as an early birthday present, I’d not asked for it so was delighted to open the parcel.

I’ve looked at getting a heated throw for this winter but had thought that it would restrict me too much as I like to crochet when I sit down so need my arms free. My daughter thought that this might suit better and when I tried it today, she is right! I can move my arms freely so my crochet hooks are not tangled up and there is still room on my lap for the current project. I am a large person, size 24, and it’s still very roomy which was a relief!

It was far too hot today at even the lowest heat, despite the heavy rain, wind and thunder outside, that I might be using it without plugging it in! I am aware of how much it is so I doubt I would have saved any money if I’d paid for it but as a present, it is ideal.
