Knitted Face Masks by Ýrúrarí


Wearing of face masks in public places is the norm nowadays. From simple surgical masks and expensive respirators to DIY solutions, people are using anything at their disposal to protect themselves from coronavirus.

Creative talents are also expanding the esthetic appeal of the all-important accessory and it seems like there's no limit to their imagination. One of my favorites is Icelandic textile artist Ýrúrarí. Her hand-knit masks are not meant to be protective in any way, but I'd still wear them at home—or outside—when this is all over.

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water.

Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
