Crochet Therapy

After an epic fail of a neurology appointment, which necessitated setting the alarm for 6am and being out of the door by 7:30, followed by a stressful motorway drive in the pouring rain, I came home and for the first time ever really needed to craft.

  I have been following this clever lass  for some time now, I love her happy colourful place and she very kindly shares tutorials for free.  After three attempts I had mastered the triple layered flower  and very quickly moved on to the cosy striped blanketThe blanket is part of an autumn crochet along but I am not following her pattern entirely and have switched up the design ever so slightly.  Either way there is definitely something very soothing about working with a crochet hook and yarn; who'd a thought it, I am a #crochetaddict!!

Lovely colors! I'm sorry the appointment didn't go well. Crafting always makes me feel better too!

Sorry to hear your appointment didn't go well. I still haven't mastered crochet but would love to learn. I love your flowers :)

You always amaze how fast you learn new handwork techniques. Veronika is crocheting a pillow right now. She really likes it.

I am getting the impression that the doctors you are consulting are not to your liking :). I have had many similar experiences and are often fed up with the "Gods in White" as we Germans sometimes call them :).

"God's in white" we use this expression too! I must admit the consultant is genuinely kind and interested in the MS and also very supportive of alternative therapies. His hands are tied and so as a result he is unable to bend the rules and offer any disease modifying drugs and neuro protective drugs are a long way off from being licensed.

Well done to Veronika with her crochet!

Hello San, You're always in our prayers every night. I hope you can find a therapy soon that is effective.The crochet work is simply beautiful. Brightly striped blankets are so cheery. We send a big hug to all of you.

That is too bad that the consultant cannot do what he thinks would be good. Now Veronika is knitting a hand puppet.
