I actually own the magazine with this pattern in it. I found a thread about this ski mask on crafster some time last year. I did some research to find out where the pattern came from, stalked ebay for it, found it, and bought it. The day the magazine arrived, I went out and bought yarn, and then this happened:

(Yes, that is me under there)

I can't believe this mask keeps popping back up, lol

I can just imagine.. "Police: can you tell me what they looked like?. Woman: Yes. It was a creepy looking clown... It scared me half to death when it jumped out of that dumpster...". Priceless.

This one reminds of Leigh Bowery, the wild, wierd and wonderful clubland character of the 80s. To see what I mean, put in Leigh Bowery as a search on Google or Yahoo or something!

No worries, Laura Mary,

Nothing like the threat of physical violence to inspire one to join a group. Works like a charm.

Thanks for the invite.

Very striking and unfortunately, unforgetable. Bank robbers need these to scare the tellers to death. What the hell is going on with the nose?
