My costume began with this piece...
Draping oneself in one's flag is the ultimate display of one's pride methinks.
In succession, came the crocheted and knitted versions of this sweater...
I currently have three of these little sweaters in my closet. Great with skirts. Fantabulous with jeans. And absolutely amazing with...BLOOMERS!
Oh yes, upon immediate discovery of this Knitty pattern, I knew that I must knit a pirate-styled pair.
I wore this lovely ensemble to our annual Stitch N Witch gathering last night...
Even though I am just a mere deck hand at the moment, I did win the coveted "Best Use of Yarn" Prize while making merry at our fete. Yipee!
I see a knitted frock coat and perhaps a crocheted tricorn hat on my list of projects to complete for next year's Halloween season...Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!

That whole outfit is awesome. The stripes, the bloomers, the skulls - too much :)
The bloomers are the BOMB. Although, I was a wee bit disappointed not to see the Dark Faery. Something to look forward to, yes??
I am over the moon smitten with your outfit! I am coveting those bloomers like nobodies business! Swoon.
I love the outfit. God job! Your work always amazes and inspires me.
You are such a talented lady.
I haven't been in the blogasphere for a while and just spent the last little while catching up on your life. Your life seems to be running quite parallel to mine in so many ways. (going through a divorce, a trip with daughter, finding stuff in daughters' purse (yaah), feeling overwhelmed, feeling in control.... )
I'll be thinking about you. Your posts have made me feel that I'm not alone. Thanks for being so open and honest. And, of course, for sharing your creativeness.
