They will scare the bejezuz out of people. I hope people will have the good sense not to walk into a bank or place with a cash register with their face covered.

Also very cool, but crocheted. What does it matter? Put it this way -- if it doesn't matter, why call it out at all? Why not just say "handmade"? If you're a crafter, the difference between knitting and crocheting is the same as between gluing and sewing -- they both connect parts together, but their pros and cons as methods are different, and they look and feel different.
