Wonder Woman FACE MASK COVER

rocheting in a pandemic is the one thing that brings me solace. Creating something beautiful gives me a sense of accomplishment. We all feel a bit Cpowerless right now and to counteract that feel- ing I decided to spice up my surgical mask with something that makes me feel more powerful. So I crocheted a Wonder Woman face mask covering! I want to channel my personal power and take back some of the uncertainty, as well as make people smile a bit. I am always here to help work through my patterns, if you would like to join my pattern support group, you can find that here.
