I pulled out a "stalled" project last night.

Given the number of projects I have going at any point in time, and the amount of time I have to work on stuff, there are always at least one or two things in different stages of being stalled. Sometimes this gets to bothering me. Mostly it does not. Sometimes I will get bugged by them and will take time - usually vacation time - to run through several of the long-stalled projects and finish them.

But most of the stuff, it gets finished eventually.

I hadn't done any crocheting in a while; the last time I did it made my elbows and wrists hurt. I think that may have been partly the humidity - if I have any kind of an ache humid weather will make it worse.

The humidity finally dropped yesterday - I guess we're getting into our fall weather pattern - so I tried it again.

I had been working on an amigurumi cat. It's a black and white cat, I last worked on it back in June. Partly because, as I said, crochet was hurting my hands, but also because crocheting with a boucle yarn is not fun - it is hard to see the stitches. But I just got sick of seeing it unfinished (the head and cheeks done, the body half-done) sitting on my ottoman, so I picked it up and worked on it last night. (No photos; it's still not done). I finished the body and attached the head, and also got the ears and one arm done.

I also (in the intervening months) got one of those Clover "ergonomic" crochet hooks that have a fatter handle, so it's easier to hold them and it puts less strain on the muscles of the hand. That also made crocheting easier.
