Happy Halloween -or- LOOK! I have 3 kids!

I know, Maria gets a lot of the face time on this blog, but let's be honest--she's small and therefore much more fun to knit for. But here's a good chance to brag on my boys--look how heroic they are! In case you're curious and happen to be living under a rock (or aren't glued to PBS like we are), Henry and Oscar are dressed up as SuperWhy. And Maria's a clown. Which was (not) surprisingly easy to pull together using random clothes from her closet. *Note the cute knitted pants, hee hee*

Oh, and Maria's bucket is a prime example of 3 kids, 2 halloween buckets. (See? She doesn't ALWAYS get all the breaks...) Luckily we go through a LOT of ice cream in this house.

In other news... My friend Heather showed me how to crochet last week. So now I'm making Maria some pants. It's pretty slow-going... my eyes aren't used to identifying crochet stitches. Half the time I don't know what I'm looking at. I've had to rip back a considerable amount 3 or 4 times. I think this is it though... I may actually finish these pants by the weekend. I'm using the same yarn I used in her birthday dress, coincidentally, because I had TONS of it. :o) Oh, and based on the Morning Glory Longie pattern from Ladybugz.
