After sitting sealed up in a plastic project bag for the last eight years, I finally pulled this project back out and am almost done with it. I had set it aside after making one of the crochet blocks for the edge. For some reason I just didn’t feel like making seventeen more. I actually ended up needing nineteen to make it around the edge. Amazingly enough the other eighteen that I made in this past week matched up size-wise with the one that I made eight years ago. The pattern calls for joining all of the blocks and then joining to the body of the bolero, but I decided to join the blocks to the bolero individually first, and then joining the blocks. I am doing a single crochet join for all of my seams, as I like the way it looks and I didn’t feel like doing a lot of sewing.
My last six blocks are drying. They should be dry later today and I can finish this up this weekend. In the process of finishing this bolero I have re-discovered that I enjoy crocheting. I may have to do more, even though I can’t read or really watch TV while doing it.
Here are my last six blocks.
