Pinky, half a year long

One of the many reasons I haven’t blogged for so long is that I’ve been working on this crochet project. I started it back in early April right after our trip to Japan. It is not the largest piece I’ve finished, but it definitely broke my record of one single project: it took half a year! It should not have taken so long. Considering how little craft-related things I brought back from Japan, my crafting mojo was probably long gone even before the trip. It wasn’t so easy to get it back when there’s no strong motivation at all. There are so many other things. I couldn’t help thinking that maybe crafts are no longer my thing any more. In any case, there won’t be projects that last forever. It is either continued or dropped. I am glad that I didn’t give up this project because the result looks exactly how I expected. The blanket makes me smile whenever I look at it. :))

The pattern is called “Soft Stroller Blanket” and published on the winter issue of Crochet Today! in 2008.
