My peculiar son asked me to make him a balaclava for Christmas for cold winter walks. He’s 24. So I’m trying to add multicolour stripes to make quite sure he’s not mistaken for a member of the paramilitary arm of this Berkshire village. May attach pom-poms & ears once it’s finished. I mean. Why not?

So far so good. Quite impressed with my shaping over the bridge of the nose. #crochet #yarnporn #stashbuster #christmashat

Finally finished the FAAABULOUS balaclava #christmascrochet and I can’t decide if it’s amazing or horrifying. Maybe both. But it’s EXACTLY what he asked for, so… #amazingandhorrifying

@lottaboheme It is even more fabulous and horrifying in real life.

@alistaircoleman isn’t it??? I’m quite excited to give it to him now. Just wondering if it needs tentacles or a giant pom-pom.

@lottaboheme definitely both!

@dragonknits have to agree 😂

@lottaboheme If he gets mistaken for a member of a paramilitary organization with that on, it'll be a FAAAAAbulous organization to belong to.

Your helmet is very much a lively fusion of Spiderwoman and a Mutant (erstwhile teen-aged) Ninja Turtle 8-)
