I chose the title “Incognito Me” in imagining someone requesting to be costumed, and thought the “Me” part would charm the Ed. at Crochet me. Bootie-kisser I am, so long as it ends in fun. Ed. note: I was charmed.

The inspiration for the pattern came from the goodie bin at my son’s pediatrician’s office. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum… no, wait… wrong story. He reached into the goodie bin and pulled out a flimsy set of Groucho Marx glasses. You know, those things with the plastic nose and moustache attached. I put them on and yelled at my son, “Hahhhh chachacha!” and then yelled, “AHA!”, as I lightbulbed a crochet project from the experience. And people looked at me funny. And I thought, “Well, whatever. Look at me any way you want, but I get to make a super-dorky project, and y’all can’t stop me.” Ed. note: I was also charmed by the use of “lightbulb” as a verb.
