The End of an Era

My unfinished ripple

 
 

Here’s a picture of the ripple I started in January, along with a few other projects.  I really like it and am looking forward to working on it again, probably this fall.  I can cover my lap and work on it at the same time when the cool crisp weather begins.  Hope I can get it finished [...]
