S is becoming quite the photographer!

I think you should rent out the boys as professional photographers for knit bloggers. They really know how to capture the important item in the photo! :) really, i think they do a great job!

fun fur is evil... I can never tell how many stitches I have, where they are... But this hat looks really great!
Happy Halloween! Hope the boys share their loot with you!

YOU ARE UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MOM EVER!
Those boys are going to remember those costumes for the rest of their lives. And if they don't, the neighbours certainly will!

Are the sweaters going to be incorporated into their everyday wardrobes? How cute would they be, running around in their Thing 1, Thing 2 sweaters?

So cute!
I can't wait to see the full ensembles!

Oh yes, Stephanie, the sweaters will be regular sweaters that they can wear. That's one more reason that I didn't go the iron-on, fabric paint craft way with these costumes. They were definitely NOT meant to be worn just once.

Very cool! I'll have to file that awy for when/if I have kids!

Question, is Halloween celebrated on halloween (Oct. 31) in MA, or does each town celebrate it on differnet days like we do here in NH? For instance, Dover, NH, I think celebrates Halloween and the kids go trick or treating on Saturday this eyar? It's a bit odd for me, who grew up celebrating andd going trick or treating on halloween (Oct. 31) and never any other day. Maybe it's just here though . . .

Cutest. Costumes. Ever. You take the prize for sure!

Oh my gosh, that hat is just adorable, as are the sweaters, as are the happy faces under the hats. Wow. You get so many good-Mommy points for this one!!

Fun Fur hats are all very fine and well, but apparently the key step is to have made a couple of bright and beautiful boys to put them on - your two fellows are going to be so adorable in their Thing costumes!

Wonderful! I can't wait to see them in their costumes!

Thank you for the pattern--now I just need to think of a costume to go with the wig. :)

These costumes just get better and better!

The picture that S took of you is sooooo great. Out of context, its mysterious and intriguing.

You ARE the best Mom ever!! I can't wait to see the boys in their costumes.

That's the cutest and most amusing hat I've ever seen!! What a cool idea for a Halloween costume. Lucky boys!

Hi Alison -

The costumes look awesome!

I have a question for you - what guage yarn do you recommend for the leftovers vest? I did a google search to follow some other knitters variations on the pattern (which looks great), but couldn't find any suggestions. I can't tell from your pattern if it's worsted, fingering... and since I'm a new knitter I thought it would be a good idea to get advice from the expert. Thanks!

I just have to say, I think these are the coolest costumes ever!! You really put a lot of thought into them & it shows. Does your creativity know no bounds?
I think the shirts are looking especially fab.

I hereby nominate you for Mother of the Year! Wow, how awesome are the costumes!

I lurk and read your blog all the time, but tonight I'm moved to comment.
Yep, probably the best mom of all time.

Thing One and Thing Two are gonna be adorable!

Best costume award goes to you Alison!! So clever Martha Steward would be jealous!
