So today I made a sleep mask.
The inspiration:
I work nights, that means I sleep during the day... or at least I try. We only have mini blinds in the bedroom, no dark curtains or anything, so at noon when I am trying to sleep the sun is coming right in through the window and filling the room with light.
I couldn't sleep... I tried crocheting the afghan I am working on, but my arm soon hurt from crocheting while laying down.
I laid there a while... still couldn't sleep...
I tossed and turned, tried covering my face with the blanket, or the pillow, or my arm... nothing worked...
So I thought to myself, I need a sleep mask...
WAIT!! I could crochet a sleep mask!!
I decided I needed to use a soft yarn, it will be on my face after all. Then I remembered I had some Lion Brand Micro Spun in Lime.
I grabbed my g hook and started crocheting.
About an hour or two later, after I got the front done, I finally fell asleep.
When I was able to work on it again, I finished it in another couple hours. It shouldn't have taken me that long, but I had several rows of single crochets and border and weaving to do.
Anyway, here is how it turned out!

And a back view:
I know, the lighting is horrible in my computer/craft room. I need to find a better place to take the pictures!!
Anyway, hope you like!!
Thanks for looking!!
