The Face Mask Adapter Story……
I worked in the Health & Social Care sector. It was the start of the Pandemic in the UK. I was one amongst many who worked on the front line during the hardest thing I’ve had to witness so far in my lifetime!
It was compulsory to wear face masks. My face was masked up for 12 hours of the day, causing irritation to the skin around my ears. Failing to find someone who could knit or crochet me a face mask adapter, I had to take matters into my own hands with the advice of my Mum. Just like that she comes out with “Just go on You Tube I’m sure you will find a video on there to make one yourself….. you can do….. I know you can!”
Of course Mum’s are always right!
I came across who had a video tutorial for what I was looking for. Little did I know then that I would fall in love with crocheting.
I made my face mask adapter and then another 10 more for the rest of my team.
It left me fascinated, to see what can become from a ball of yarn and a crochet hook! My Mum saw how amazed I was. Sitting with her one night she said to me “You’ve got the hang of it now, you could make anything, and you should”.
And so I did…..
I followed a few beginner video tutorials to learn the basics and just like that I was on my way……
I never thought I was creative or crafty, but I definitely found something here and I have since continued to fall in love with crocheting 🧶
