I’m regaining my strength after illness and surgery. Recovery is a process that has to be measured in daily increments with a few setbacks along the way. I am making progress though.
Thank goodness I have my crochet. It has gotten me through pain, insomnia and boredom with being bedridden.
I am so grateful to my loved ones for taking care of me.
Revisiting of the Old
During the moments when I am strong and energetic, I’ve been pulling out old crochet projects and UFOs. I had several UFOs that were completed except I never wove in the ends, blocked, added buttons, etc. Finishing is NOT my favorite part of crochet. Usually I want to keep my hook going and start on something else as soon as I’m done. That’s why I try to keep several projects going at one time.
I finally put the finishing touches on my Lily Chin Lace Dress that I made ages ago. I will take a photo as soon as I find a slip to wear underneath.
I found a jacket/coat I made a few years back and when I tried it on, I was surprised at how CUTE it was. It was very simple to make and more of an experiment so I never really looked at it. I’m going to finish weaving in the ends and put on the buttons. I think I can even retro-engineer a pattern from it just from looking at it.
I also finished a mystery project that I was working on. I cannot wait to share that with everyone. It is the sexy hotness IMO.

Thanks, Ladies.
I’m glad you’re recovering well. Thank goodness for our crafts. I’ll be looking for your Lily Chin. Thanks for stopping by !
Glad your recovery is progressing. I recently returned to work after 3 months & I miss my recovery (& dedicated knitting/crocheting) time.
Love the lace dress pattern. Can’t wait to see yours. Sending healthy vibes your way.
