Crocheted by Polish Grannies making big dollars
Who would have thought that crocheting would make it this big and selling on their site making big money...here is an excerpt from their site:

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1921837.htmlGrannies' G-strings go globalG-strings crocheted by Polish grannies have proved such a success they are being sold worldwide on the internet.
And the business has proved such a success that the crochetiers have now launched an online shop for people around the world to buy the knitted underwear.
The crocheted g-strings can be ordered from http://koniakow.com for around £17 each.

We have a snowstorm and I thought this would be fun to send on.
