I knew I had a lace project around somewhere, and by midsummer I was ready for some light and airy fabric creation. I was able to put my hand right on this project, and a quick check on Ravelry revealed the pattern name. Astonishingly, I had put it down at the end of a pattern repeat row, and it took me less than five minutes to confirm where I was in the pattern and continue on.
The surprise was the pattern start date in Ravelry. I started this lace in August of 2015, and put it down when I received my cancer diagnosis.
My scars have healed, my hair has grown back, I went back to work for a year before retiring on schedule, but somehow picking up this lace again feels like yet another step in getting back to normal.
