LEAVES OF GRASS

."..And of these one and all
I weave the song of myself"

~ Walt Whitman
 Leaves of Grass

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the last three days I

have not done much except

knit. This morning around

9:30 a.m. I finally finished

my Leaves of Grass.  I

immediately blocked it and

then took it for a photo shoot.

 

Can I  tell you how much

I love this shawl? I do. It

is truthfully the most beautiful

item I have ever knit and

now I just have to wait for

the temperatures to fall out

of the 90's and the humidity

to drop below 2,000 %[ oh yes,

that is what it feels like]  so I

can wear it. Or else I may just

turn the a/c down and wrap myself

up in it.;)

 

The pattern was super easy

as long as you pay attention

to what row you are suppose

to be knitting..ahem. Now

I am back to working on my

other Leaves of Grass, although

this one may be a long time

project.

 

If you have never knit with

charts before I would highly

recommend trying out one of

Jared Flood's patterns, they are

well written, such a joy

to knit and if I can follow a

chart I know you can. Really,

charts are easier than written

patterns so go ahead and

try one then let me know

what you think.

 

Oh, and the figs are finally

ready . It's been a great

day here and I hope

yours was too.
