Does making godforsaken masks count as a “fiber art”? (I don’t think so.) Even though I don’t wear them, I do make a few for Mom, elderly relatives, and church friends. It is helping to cull my quilt stash, though.
My Mom has been making them like crazy for some of the Grandkids that are in the medical field and must wear them.
She’s made a few for us, but she’s not using very ‘breathable’ fabric, so they’re pretty uncomfortable to wear other than for a very short time frame. :(
Yes, making masks counts!
I knit a half dozen of them from either Patons Stretch Sock (cotton/wool/elastane blend) or a wool/bamboo sock yarn.
Very breathable, stretchy and comfortable. Only stops dirty looks.
Now making actual socks for stocking stuffers.
Also have a couple of furniture refinishing projects, a side table I am converting into a dog bed/crate and a headboard that needs to be given a beach/weathered look.
When I get those done, I have an armoire I want to install casters on and then build a hidden gun safe into the back side. Open the doors and it’s just storage shelves, Turn it around and it’s an arsenal.
Yes, making godforsaken masks MUST count!
I have made about 30 in the past week or so, for the granddaughters, who will need to wear them to school.
On the bright side, they are planning to open schools. The older one will be in 4th grade, and going 5 days per week on a normal schedule. At least that is what is currently planned.
The younger one is 3, and will have half-day preschool, 3 days per week.
I will probably make another 10-15 masks this week, for them, until I run out of the fabric they picked out and brought for me to use.
Then on to some other sewing.
