The Mask Dilemma
 |
| Purchased Disposable Surgical Masks |
Do we want to stay safe or do we want to be stylish? That is the question. How about BOTH?
Since this pandemic is going to last a long time and the wearing of masks will be with us for awhile, Larry and I purchased a box of surgical masks. They are light-weight, fairly comfortable to wear and make us look like essential workers at the grocery store. They are fine. HOWEVER, there are circumstances when you want to dress up a bit and have some fun.
I've been experimenting with various crocheted face masks. Naturally, a crocheted mask needs to have a liner so the germs don't get inside. This is accomplished by placing a folded paper towel or a coffee filter inside the mask. This works pretty well.
My friend Suzette made a FAB crocheted mask with appliquéd lips on the front. WOW! I had to duplicate that! So, I crocheted another mask from this PATTERN. I found a random crochet lip pattern online and appliquéd it to my mask!

WELL, after Mr. Larry saw our stylish masks he wanted one too, but with a mustache and/or goatee! I checked out some mustache charts.

Crocheting a mustache is not all that easy, especially as an appliqué! I tried a few different versions. The first one I made with a goatee attached just didn't come out well at all!

My next attempt was just to crochet the mustache. This worked out OK, but there is still room for improvement!

I love the lips mask, but is the crocheted mask too warm to wear? I sew the simple rectangle-with-folds mask and I found that one made with linen fabric works well for warmer days.

These masks were so amazing, they were no doubt a source of finding some fun even in that dark time of crisis, that Covid era is no doubt unforgettable and I would always remember that struggle we all been through, from small casual outings to work cycle of jobs, all were affected and we all could only spectate that horrible situation, I remember when I was not even able to go on my job and complete my assignments and had to avail the Glasgow Assignment Help from UK Assignment Service to complete my assignments on time. Thank God that era ended and we are back to normal life activities.
These masks are very unique! I would love to have one. I remember that Covid-19 era, when we used to wear masks on a daily basis but those boring surgical masks. At that time I seeked help from online class help for my online accounting classes because of limited internet connection in my area.
