Project Name: First Three Masks
Project Link: First Three Masks
Brief Description: I called around to a few different local hospitals and clinics to see who is accepting handmade masks. Some places aren’t, but many others are, to be used when helping patients who do NOT have Covid-19, so that the more heavy-duty ones can be saved for the Covid wards. My parents and I have started making masks, and here are our first three.

I can’t eat walnuts, but this still makes me wanna make brownies! I may just have to do that today!

Also, omg, I love Owlbert!! He’s SO cute with his bright eyebrows, mismatched eyes, dapper cape, and gorgeous mottled fur! Gah!

I just left the taco pie post open in another tab to look at later; I am literally drooling right now.

Your bird ATCs are beautiful! I am getting really excited for the rest of the swaps to pick up again, so I can join my first ATC swap!

I really really like your journal pages! Your teacher was right; the white in the middle works really well!

This piece is so impressive! Her face is really expressive, and the yellow shape makes the whole thing really pop!

Wow. I just made a banana cake with cream cheese frosting last month that I thought was pretty darn delicious, but I never thought of adding peanut butter to the mix! That’s genius!

This looks gorgeous!! After trying kumihimo for the first time last year, I’m hoping to do some more in the future. It’s great to see real evidence that it can look just as pretty with that style of tool!

Awww, it’s so cute and chubby!! Darling baby cryptid.

I like the masterboards a lot. Once I finish the swaps I’m currently in, I think I’ll try a similar technique.

Argh, you guys are all making me way too hungry!!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: These look scrumptious.

Hahaha, hey, it used scissors and created something (a new look!) that wasn’t there before, so well done! XD Your kiddo looks adorable too!

Project Name: Waterlily and Dragonfly Pillbox Hat
Project Link: Waterlily and Dragonfly Pillbox Hat
Brief Description: I wanted to try my hand at making a pillbox hat. :3 I also really like water lilies and haven’t made a dragonfly in a while. It was fun to concentrate on wirework for a bit instead of tsumami craft.

Prompt- April- Battle Phone Call
Team- knotty by nature
project name- Plague Doctor w/TP & Bunny Ear Accessories
project link- Crochet Plague Doctor w/Accessories
Description- Over the phone, I asked my son if he needed a shopping mask, he told me he wanted a plague doctor mask. I made him a plague doctor for Easter with removable ears & hat & a couple of spare rolls of tp as well. (he got a Mario mask, see below)

Prompt: April- Facebook
Team: knotty by nature
Project Name Mario Mask
Description Made a face mask for one of my adult sons. He’s “essential” and has to be out and about far more than my husband and I. It has a pocket in the back to put an extra filter and a spot on top for a removable nose wire. He didn’t want the “ear saver” but I have a feeling he will in the future.

Prompt: April- Free Range
Team: knotty by nature
Project Name Yellow Facemask
Description - My other son’s girlfriend is also “essential” so I made her a mask as well. Again it has the extra filter spot and removable nose wire. She already has ear savers that I made her.

I feel like the Spring Games are going to be: Nerd Games: Mask Edition. LOL!

@roler – The Kirby hoop is so bright and fun! I love the design. It’s so clean and perfectly executed. Your masks are great and it’s awesome that you are helping out.

@appledainty – I love that you made something so different than what we normally see in the Games, or on this site for that matter. I don’t think I have ever seen another Pillbox hat made. You did a phenomenal job. Love the dragonfly too. The whole piece is gorgeous.

@ezrib – Eeps! I love me some Plague Doctors! Yours is so fun! Love the big eyes and the bunny ears. The toilet paper rolls crack me up! Nice of you to make the masks for your family. I like the fabric prints.

@bunny1kenobi – Love the fabric and style of your masks. I like that they sunflower ones match the elastic bands. I think your kiddo’s masks are fun. I like the American flag one a lot. The Punisher one is cool. I love the sayings and humor.

This is breathtaking. It looks absolutely elegant. Love the dragonfly and the dainty flowers and the stark straight pleats!

This is sooooo cute!! Love his extra accessories; he’s about as topical as you can get right now!

The masks are great too; so far I’ve only made plain masks but I want to make some with cute fabric as well for family.

I love all of your masks! I love that you chose different patterns for each person’s tastes and personality, so they can feel safe AND stylish!

Very pretty masks! I’m so impressed by the volume of masks everyone is producing. I’ve only made three so far and it was a LOT of work! Keep up the awesome! :slight_smile:

Also omg your peg monsters are SO CUTE. I think the mummy is my favorite. I’d love to see a stop-motion video of their adventures! XD
