I've been looking for a way to help during this time. Sewing face masks is on my list but since I haven't used my sewing machine in years that will be a project that has to wait until after graduation (16 days...). My incredibly kind and talented friend Erin mentioned knitting earsavers, and when I looked the free pattern up on Ravelry, I knew this was something I can do right now in little pockets of time (while I finish writing the last 45 pages of my final project). They really are easy, comforting to knit, comfortable to wear and helpful to the folks on the front lines who have to wear masks for long periods of time. I can knit one up in about 15 minutes, and they help calm my nerves a bit. This batch is heading to Kroger where I know half of the kids and many of the adults who work there. Small town. If they like them, I'll knit more & bring them in.
Have you been lurking on my blog without commenting?? That's fine, glad you've been able to visit, and glad you've been finding time to knit!
ReplyDeleteAck! You found me!! I feel like company unexpectedly showed up and I'm in my pajamas but then I see it's you and everything is okay :-) I've been quiet only while trying to find my voice again, should return to regularly scheduled chattiness in about 8 days...
