Of Kings and Queens

It all started when my Mom heard there was a costumes competition at Fircrest Golf Club Trivia Night on Halloween. She came up with chess pieces; white king, black king, white queen and black queen. My Mom and I almost had to give up knitting altogether to get them done in time! But here they are.


Wish the grass was a giant chess board, wouldn't that be cool.



My mom crochet and knit the masks. Many people at the club did not recognize us at all -- were quite surprised when they found out who we were.

Props to my dad who did all the wood working with the staffs. Also for great moral support and baby wrangling while we were engrossed in the costumes!
