Balaclavas for Neva and Hugh

Well, I don't know if you've noticed (or if it's this cold where you are), but it's -33 Celsius around these parts these days. We're in a cold snap, and although the school is good about not making the kids go outside if it's less than -25C -- that's still pretty cold. Hence: balaclavas for all! This is a pattern I'd done before for Jeffy, and liked a lot. It's a fast knit, and the face opening is stretchy enough that it can be left open just for the eyes or pulled down to expose most of the face. I even managed to make Hugh's in less than 48 hours, which shows you either a) how quickly it knits up, or b) how good I am at ignoring the children when I have a goal in mind. Regardless: they wore them today, and not for the last time, methinks. Their comment: "We look like ninjas!" You bet, kidlets. Really warm ninjas.
