Warming more than the cockles of one's heart!

I had to smile at this report from Croatia.

Knitting fan Radmila Kus is running up a fortune from the ultimate in luxury crotch-et work - made-to-measure bespoke willy-warmers.




Kus has revived a centuries old tradition in Croatia's remote Mrkopalj mountain region where wives knitted protectors to help their husbands cope with the area's freezing weather.

Kus explained: "Local men here wore these for centuries. In those days the clothing was not so good and people weren't rich enough to keep warm.

"Frostbite was a real problem and to avoid permanent damage these warmers came into use.

"Wives believed that keeping their man's private parts warm allowed him to remain fertile and increased their chance of having children," she explained.

I suppose it's logical that these things should be popular in Croatia. After all, it's located in the Ball-kans . . .
