Nice idea! Printed out the pattern for the crocheted mask. :)

I’m not sure if I said it here, but I wonder if face masks will become the new ‘fashion accessory’ as were leg warmers and Scrunchies?

(I hope not!)

I broke down & wore a mask yesterday when I had to go to Walmart grocery shopping for my folks (86 & 97 with co-morbidities - NOT lwaving the house!). They were some cheapie, medical looking masks (just paper ‘fabric’ I assume). Mom had gotten them several years ago to wear during pollen season, etc. They are not fitted and have ear loops, not ties.

That dang mask drove me cRaZy!! It kept slipping/sliding & I would have to touch it to get it back where it was supposed to be (not supposed to touch them once you put them on). Additionally, it was hot and my warm breath escaped from the top of it which fogged up my glasses ... so then I had to push my glasses up to be able to see/read labels. I touched the mask/glasses as little as I could, but I should not have had to touch them at all. The new “perfume” around our place is Eau de Isopropyl .... we carry it in the car (it now reeks of alcohol) so when I got out of Walmart, I scrubbed down my hands and everything I touched. As soon as I got home, hands, face & glasses were thoroughly washed with soap/water. A better fitting mask would probably be more ‘tolerable’ than the one I had.
