Sami mittens

Crocheted mittens. I am very fond of the patterns from the sami peoples.
The main colour is always white. Thereafter are red and blue used. Some say if use of green, you are married. There are a lot of variations from region to region. 

And the patterns tells other which region your are from, or even whos family. They are very related to whos family you are from, and are very bonding. So the familys are big.

And you will often find a cross or a churchspire somewhere in the pattern, because the sami people are very religious. The hearts are from the newer grenerations. 

But nowadays it is some mixed up, and everyone use everything.

Corona/covid 19, face mask.

This pandemi is darngerous particulary  to people with several health issues, and also for healty people. No one knows whos next.

I found out I had to make my own face mask. 

Googled on internet and found out how they were made. Up and draw my own pattern for testing.

All the masks got lining inside.

1. Attempt: not  satisfyed at all. Big gaps on the cheeks, ans a hillarious jaw. Needs some redrawing.

2. Attempt. Looking good , but the elastic is too tight. Got some real cauliflower ears, right before my ears are ripped off...tji-hi.. 

But the mask could fit a child.

3. Attempt: the elastic is longer, same pattern as the second attempt. The mask is good to wear, and no ear ripping.

And for some extra protection , you can buy your own googles. Looks nice? hih-hi.. 

And of course I had to make a mask for my son too. Same pattern.

Note: I did wash the mask before I handeled it over to my son. 

Take good care of each other.
