Flashes, sporrans and... facial hair?

[McMurdo]

They look great Arlen, but what's this about facial hair?

Oh. I forgot to post that bit.
Just that at the age of TWENTY FOUR I finally managed to grow a decent pair of sideburns.
Finally.

I've seen your piccies. You still look like you're about 14...


Can you knit yourself a big mustache?...

Just kidding. The flashes and ties look great!

You know, I still sometimes get offered a half fare on the bus.
And then go to the pub and don't get I.D'd.
How it goes, I guess.

I would call that the BEST of both worlds!

It must be nice. I'm already getting offered the senior discount in some restaurants. It's usually some 16 year old working that gives it to me. I sometimes don't know whether to be insulted or to take the discount.

I generally take the discount.

Fairly simple.
A knit stitch all the way. 5 stitches across and as many rows as you need for them to wrap around your leg twice and hang just a little.
As for the frays, just take 5 lengths of yarn and thread them through loop of each knot at the end. Then tie them and pick them apart. Do this for both ends and you have nice frays on your flashes.

Don't complain. At 23 I look so ancient with my full beard that not only do I not get ID'd, none of the people with me get ID'd either. Needless to say all my 21, 22, 23 year old female friends get mad at me and complain about how old I make them look

Good for you! I'm 45 and still can't pull that one off.
