Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, I present to you now the final post of my Christmas craft countdown! Taken directly from the pages of McCall's Needlework & Crafts Fall-Winter 1965-66 -
SKI MASKS OF TERROR!
 |
| "Pompon ski mask, made in one piece of knitting worsted on double-pointed needles. Boldly embroidered later in cross-stitch. Separately knitted red nose piece." |
 |
| "Bright and bold pom-poned head covering for the cold. Knit-on dickey is neat and draft free." |
 |
| "Warm little Indian wears his feathers knitted over pipe cleaners, his war paint of duplicate stitch. Knitted nosepiece sewn on." |
 |
| "Girls' face mask is knitted around, has no seams. Warms neck as well as head. Fringed yarn bangs and pompon "hair" are amusing." | |
|
|
Since nothing could possibly top that, Feliz Navidad!
You should warn people not to look at these before going to bed.
