I finished a throw Tuesday for one of my nieces. The yarn is Knit Picks Brava Sport. It’s one of their Hue Shift afghan kits. I didn’t want to knit it like the pattern, though, so I made a crocheted ripple. There are 10 balls of colored yarn in the kit and 2 balls of…

It’s 3:00 a.m. and I’m sitting in an RV park bathroom finishing up a sock. We headed out for our annual trip to Sturgis yesterday. It was a nice day for riding even if we did get into a little bit of rain. The air pump for our mattress wouldn’t work last night. Then Dale…

I started a new pair of socks today. This yarn is Hawthorne from Knit Picks. It was a thank you gift from a friend for teaching her how to knit socks. I like to knit my socks on 9″ circular needles for the leg. Then I switch to double-pointed needles for the heel and gusset,…
