A Better Mask

I think we are all learning that a mask can be a fashion accessory.  It took me a while to find one I liked. I started out with an accordion-fold mask, but it didn't quite accommodate my prominent pointy nose. Eventually, I found a hand-dyed cotton mask on Etsy from one of the teachers who was going to be at Blue Ridge Fiber Fest. (I think it was WAXON studio .)                         I did want to point out something about her design that I like very much — the single strap. The default I see commonly is two small straps that fit around the ears. While many people like those, I'm not a fan. After a little while, the elastic irritates the back of my ears. The one-strap design means the strap goes around behind my head. I find it to be much more comfortable. Another advantage is I can pull the mask on over my head and leave it hanging around my neck. This is handy if I am running errands. I can pull the mask down around my neck
