Sadly for you if in hate skin the covers will only stop flies and debris getting into the custards whilst the delicate process of skin formation takes place.

Just yesterday I beaded a crochet doily (very extravagantly!)for part of my daughter-in-law's birthday present; she had requested a vintage tea set so I felt compelled to give her the works. She was genuinely thrilled with the jug cover, so perhaps the young 'uns won't need much persuading in your latest crusade!<br /><br />P.S. I hate the skin on custard, and sprinkle caster sugar thinly on top to stop the slimy stuff from forming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664195073850900270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-70955510223807458172012-02-25T15:40:35.750+00:002012-02-25T15:40:35.750+00:00I love these covers too and have been buying up su...I love these covers too and have been buying up suitable crochet doilies in the charity shops with the intention of adding glass beads. I hadn't thought of using them to stop skins forming on hot sauces - I hate that skin!

I just love these covers I have a few and use them myself (have been laughed at for doing so I might add) but I just don't understand why they aren't more popular.<br />I was given a great book the other week, by a lady at my Knit and Natter Group, called Crochet covers for jugs and bowls... some amazing designs but must confess as a crochet novice I am rather daunted by the fact one needs to use .75mm hooks!Greenorchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429772996167532604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-13488164322211608112012-02-25T02:39:21.976+00:002012-02-25T02:39:21.976+00:00Those covers are interesting, I am not familiar wi...Those covers are interesting, I am not familiar with this at all!
