Shrouded in Mystery
I thought this would be the perfect little accessory for masking my eyes post surgery. Do you think anyone will notice? I think I'll call it a CRO-SHROUD.
(No, I didn't really make this - and I am also sorry to tell you that I forgot where I found the picture because I know you all would have wanted the pattern!)
My eyes are still pretty swollen, and I will have to be the mysterIous women behind sunglasses for the next several weeks. I still haven't picked up a project in more than six days - the longest knitting hiatus I have taken in quite some time. So, you can tell me if this is a totally insane reaction: but instead of wanting to get back into my projects, I hate every project that I have waiting for me! Why is that??? This is a real mystery to me. It's like I am mad that they didn't work on themselves or something during my absence! How dare they just lay there on the needles - waiting for me to return. Or do I feel guilty that I abandoned them? Or now that I have taken a breather, and dare I say it, have gained a little distance and perspective, perhaps having 8 simutaneous projects just feels a bit overwhelming. And yet, I know that once my sticks are back in my hands, the mystery will be gone - and the beautiful insanity shall begin anew!
That is, um, one unique piece of headgear. It makes me fear for what is lurking behind it.

Glad to hear things went well with your surgery. Maybe your reaction to your projects is your body's way of coping 'til you heal enough to knit. Take it easy, and don't be in a rush or you may up making something like in the picture!

You know the scariest thing about that photo is the crazy blobby crocheted flower off the forehead.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Maybe the new eyes will be giving you "new eyes" with your knitting.

Glad to hear that it all went well with your surgery! 6 hours! And cracking jokes.
That is one 'interesting' headwrap. It shows off her nose.
Eight projects going? Maybe you should enjoy the breather.
