THE KOOKY TREND
Out with the ski mask, in with JO Designs’ crocheted beard. A Bloomington crafter makes this humorous yet practical accessory in adult and kid sizes with loops that attach to one’s ears. Find them at tonight’s Yelp Totally Bazaar market at Old City Hall, in Conduit Press’s booth. Afterward, look at Homespun or order on Etsy; JO Designs has ’em ready to ship. $12 kids, $15 adults. Homespun, 5624 E. Washington St., 317-351-0280, and pop-up shop open Fridays and Saturdays this month at 869 Massachusetts Ave. JO Designs on Etsy.
