The sun warms your skin as you float suspended above gently lapping waters. Seagulls call out in the distance and glide through the air. The horizon is hazy and the humidity is high. Cicadas hum sweetly, buzzing about the heat. The lukewarm water rocks you gently as it cools—not too hot and not too cold for a midsummer’s day. You are adrift, and your cares, for now, are set free.

Note on yardage: You may prefer to buy extra “safety skeins” for this project.
