Forecast

I know that some out there cringe at the word 'snow'. I love snow. There I said it and no, I am not crazy. Born in NH and proud of it. We handled snow and went about our lives - safely. Today, schools close at the first flake. I wish! I have pictures where the snow was higher than our car and Mom drove 20 miles to work every day - and left early so she didn't drive like an idiot. And arrived on time. Wow! wouldn't that be different today??

So now that they are predicting flurries today, possible sleet tomorrow nite, and snow on Monday here is the big question. Are you ready? Do you have enough yarn, the right needles or hooks, projects. Or do you need to rush out and get some supplies to hold you over - just in case??? Yeah I know we all have all the holiday stuff to do but.... being devoted to our craft, it seems like I just have to have a new project when snow threatens. Maybe it's to keep my hands occupied or my mind. Maybe it's because I want to go out in the snow and play like I did as a kid. And that is now not so easy to do physically. Maybe it's because I'm stuck in the house.....Maybe it's just because I am a KNITTER!!

So enjoy the forecast. Embrace it. Bake some cookies, make tea, coffee or hot chocolate (my personal fave - what you expected something different? hah); eat a couple of cookies snuggled up on the couch surrounded by patterns, yarn, knitting books, a good knitting mystery or two. And let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

In the meantime we are here til 9PM tonite. Ready and willing to help you finish those last minute holiday gifts. Come on in and join us!
