It will haunt your nightmares

How does one get out of a knitting funk? By knitting joke patterns, of course!

Scary Mask Finished

This is the famed adult balaclava pattern that has made such a splash on ye olde interweb.

I made this out of some spare Cascade 220 I had in my stash on size 8 needles. It only took a few days, and the results are just fabulous. Check out my friend Panda modeling:

But she looks so innocent!

I actually made this for my friend Mr. N, who is also owner of the eyepatch mentioned in the earlier posts.

Molly thinks I’m crazy for making the mask:

But I’ve found it’s good for brainstorming:

So, the official cure for the knitting blues: ridiculous vintage patterns! Take my word for it!

    Never did I expect to see a balaclava even more scary than the original.

    Sure did the rounds, that pattern.

    Must find another.
