Mission Accomplished!

Happy Easter! I am thrilled to report that after hours of being in a complete crochet frenzy, I finished the girls’ Easter boleros in time for the Easter Vigil Mass last night. Yesterday afternoon, finally in home stretch, I frantically did all of the finishing. On Holy Thursday, I contemplated, for a brief moment, not blocking in order to save time; but in the end, I could not bring myself to do it. So, I pulled out  the good ol’ pilates mat Holy Friday evening and got busy blocking. The edging went from a curled hot mess to something really beautiful, almost instantly. Moral: ALWAYS, ALWAYS BLOCK!

The finished product is so worth it. The girls looked amazing and I am so pleased with the final results. Here goes…..

Well, off to the next project now…..my hook gets no rest! Winking smile

Wishing everyone a beautiful day filled with family, friends, good food, lots of LOVE and HOPE! Happy Stitching!

    Amazing! You did it — but then I knew all along you would get them finished. They are gorgeous and just beautiful with the dresses.
