Is anyone dressing up for Halloween?

I’m loving all these easy ideas. My DH asked (YESTERDAY, thank you!) for pirate costumes! ACH! It’s very hard to pull that off convincingly with very little time and even less money! What makes me a good knitter makes me a BAD costume designer: attention to detail! In order to pull of the pirate theme convincingly it’s going to take the right shoes/boots, jewelry, hair & make-up, etc. Nothing ruins a convincing costume like a pair of street shoes sticking out from under it! Wha’doIdo?

I noticed that my Walmart had “pirate boot tops” that you slipped over your shoes - in other words the bottoms were still your shoes, but the part up the leg was this fake whatever.You might run by and take a look at them and see if there’s a way you can make something serve the same purpose.
