Because I can't help myself . . .

I found a pattern to make this


And then I found a pattern to make this


If you recall from Octobers past, I like to make costumes for my kids.  Not just for the day of Halloween, but items that will last for dual purpose.  So, my knight in shining armor will have a sturdy helmet for bravery and a fiery dragon to slay.  But after the sugary day on October 31st, he will have a hat and scarf set for the upcoming winter.  

Perhaps this will be played with more than even I realize.  I can only imagine a fiery dragon capturing the lovely princess and the brave knight slaying the beast to rescue the fair maiden.  

They will be hand-made, but very boy!  Not cheap plastic that doesn't fit, always falls off, needs a strap modified, or broken after a few uses.

The only difficulty may be finding a variegated green yarn without cream, tan, brown, or camo colors.

Not that I need another project, but I can't help myself.  Simon is thrilled when I make him something. Thrilled, to the point of asking me each day if that is the day I will finish.  Norah has dragon jealousy. She forgets her cape and crown were made for her by me long ago.

Those are adorable! Okay, maybe that's not a 'boy' word, but they are. Don't tell Simon I said that. ;)
