I think your duster would look really sharp with just a single row or two of black trim down the front and around the bottom and neck. It would give it a bit of a formal look. I have seen your calypso shawl, that is a work of art. It's hard to believe it was only your second one. I have been having a problem lately. I love crochet, it makes me feel comfortable and content and I enjoy so much learning a new stitch or a pattern. Lately how ever, I have had a problem finding the will or motivation. I have a couple of things that I have been working on but they have just been sitting there unfinished. I have no idea how to get back in the groove. Do you have any advice for me? I could really use the help. I think you are beautiful the way you are. You don't need to worry about the out side when the inside shines as bright as you do. Seriously I don't think there is any thing wrong with your body or any other part of you. I know depression, I know it is like a dark tunnel that seems endless. You feel like there is no reason to get up in the morning, then at night it feels like there is no reason to go to bed. In between that it feels like one long endless drag. There is an end to the tunnel though believe me and you are a strong woman I know you will find it. There is not a thing wrong with asking for help if you need to. Your doctor can help you.
Thank you for your kind words. I am not worried about my body, not in a way that is bad. I need to healthier and stronger. I thought I looked pretty funny. I am reaching the 4 year point after my last child was born and I am starting to feel like myself. It takes about 4 years for me to be able to feel like myself. As for motivation, I would start watching lots of videos and look at patterns. I would look at my yarn, and really just start something new. The rest are in time out. Or pick a small project to get that amazing feeling of finishing a project. I like to make dishcloths when I am feeling like not crocheting. You could even just wait it out. Sometimes when it's hot and such it might not be the time to do it. I have been playing some video games and reading instead of crafting all day. There are days I just want to wind yarn instead of creating. Sometimes I just organize my stash just to touch and see what I have. Don't beat yourself up! It happens to us all!
