Some of the knitting ladies in our community have been busy of late. With the introduction of compulsory face masks to deal with the threat of transmitting the COVID virus, I suppose we all find the elastic pulled behind the ears to be a constant annoyance, they have devised a solution.
So, it was with the staff at the Shepparton Villages who, due to extra tight restrictions, have been for some time wearing masks to isolated their residents. The ladies in the communal knitting circles at different facilities designed a small knitted band that clips onto the mask and pulls it away from the back of the ears, eliminating that annoyance.
As we are now all committed to wearing a mask for the foreseeable future, these little knitted gems are likely to become a highly popular adjustment on how we deal with them.
