Pandemic

I’ve always done a lot of craftwork but with this continued “stay home” order even I am starting to get a little bored with the usual stuff.
These little nurse dolls are a fitting project right now. They’re easy and fast to make, use up leftover yarns! Free Ravelry pattern.
A little more work making the Florence Nightingale bear. I’ve made her before, for my daughter and sister (both nurses), but I figured it was the right time to make another one. Ravelry Pattern

I’ve made a lot of different face-masks already and I still keep trying new designs (Pinterest has an endless supply of free patterns) to see which one I like best (and it keeps changing as I go). I’m also sewing masks for Michelle’s clinic, so she’s ready to welcome her clients back when/if the government allows her to open again (not till after June 1st is the latest news).

Right now I’m working on a cardigan for myself (free pattern), in an orangy coloured tweed yarn I’ve had laying around for a long time, just never knew what I wanted to make with it. At least this continued “stores are closed” situation is forcing me to dig into my stash and use whatever I have laying around, that’s a good thing! Have to keep positive 😀🧶
