It's been awhile since I have posted anything.  My energy and creativity were very low for quite awhile so I have not crocheted much in the past couple of years. My energy has increased due to exercise and different medication but it's summer time and I am not feeling like staying inside to crochet. But I do have a couple of small projects that I can sit down and work on in the evenings or when I need a break or want to relax.  I was currently working on a batch of chemo caps that a friend mine was the inspiration for. She mainly does crochet for charity and she writes her owns patterns. She wrote several for chemo caps.  The organization Halo's of Hope was doing a drive this Spring for summer chemo caps.  They use a sport yarn instead of worsted weight. I was lagging behind and didn't get my hats done in time for the drive but the organization will still take the caps.  I finished my last one last night.  All that is left to do is weave in the tails and wash them and box them up and ship them off.  That will take awhile. I hate going to the post office. The other small project I am working on is scrubbies. They are cute and fun to work on. They only take 45min to an hour to finish. I feel like I have accomplished something if I finish one in a day and I don't have to spend all my time crocheting.
     The plan for this fall is to start an Aran afghan. I love them. They are also called Fishermen afghans. I started looking for Aran patterns about 4 years ago and picked one out last winter. I have the yarn needed. All I have to do is start it so I am saving that project for later. 
     I had some thoughts on the healing power of working with your hands but I will save that for later.
