a giant tooth, a bat mask, and wings
It's Hansel Halloween parts!

The tooth and the bat mask belong to the boys. They've asked me every day since Saturday if I've finished anything for their costumes yet. I finally forced myself to sit down yesterday and cut out the pattern pieces so I could actually show them something. Oh, the motivating power of children's unrestrained enthusiasm! When they heard that I'd cut out stuff, S wanted to see his funny shark tooth piece and B pulled on his bat mask pattern with glee. Hooray!
The wings, however, are mine.

I am still giggling over my Rebecca sweater's Liberty-Bell-sized bell sleeves. Ding dong, these babies are gonna be awesome! It's all so orange and over the top that I think I'm gonna have to wear this sweater out with the kids on Halloween night.
And the supplies for wee one's (no-sew, no-knit) costume should be winging themselves to me as we speak! More on that next week....

I wish I had the dedication (and time) to handmake a Halloween costume for Junior. I just don't like him that much :) I do need to start looking though...
I love the orange stripes! It looks like a really fun knit. Can't wait to see the whole thing!
Not to be too bothersome, I hope, but whatever happened to Sockapalooza 5?
I LOVE the orange stripe-y bell sleeves! I'm totally jealous of that sweater!
Orange stripes. The only way it could be more Halloween-y is with black instead of white! The orange is nice and bright, which makes it very festive looking!
