I’m not usually a beach gal, but my trip to Tybee Island was lovely.
I walked miles, swam in the ocean, ate oysters, read two books, laughed with my family, & knit. That’s it. I needed the time to process the assassination of the Hortmans, the shooting of the Hoffmans, & heal my exhausted heart.

Variations Cowl No. 1 by @tifneilanhandknits.bsky.social
This was such a fun knit—engaging but memorizable. The interrupted garter stitch and five colors kept things interesting, & I love the exposed seam detail. The sport-weight yarn makes it light & wearable.
