my first post-surgery project

I had this crappy wrist surgery in March. The second I was even remotely better, I had knitting needles in my hands. And I didn't start with no piddly shit, either. I pulled out the big guns and cast-on for Jared Flood's Leaves of Grass. I liked the idea of a giant blanket-y shawl. Also, lace.

I don't often photograph my projects on people, but Erceg pretty much does whatever I tell her to, and it only cost me one beer. We got to hang in the sun in picturesque Cathedral Park and listen for ghosts while she worked the shawl. Seriously, what a babe.





It took six weeks to make and is the least painful project I've knit in a year and a half. Consider me healed.
