Cotton: Part III

I'm writing this on a cloudy, chilly Sunday afternoon, having driven home from Lacombe an hour or so ago.  It was snowing there -- the big, fat flakes associated with spring snow.  Blessedly, as I travelled farther East, the snow stopped.

Snow -- and tomorrow it's April.  Sigh.

The photo at left is of a robin I spotted on the ornamental cherry tree in my front yard on March 17 -- 2013.  I don't recall seeing one that early since -- and that wee fellow looked distinctly shivery at the time!

Will Spring ever arrive this year?!

In last week's post Crafty Lady colleague, Anne, refused to predict anything.  I don't blame her.  As she said, it's a given that the weather in Alberta reflects what I hold is Mother Nature's truest personality trait: unpredictability.

That said, Spring eventually does arrive, followed (whether quickly or slowly) by Construction Season Summer.

In anticipation of those eventualities, The Crafty Lady is once more enticing you with cotton.  While you can use our Super Special offering for home decor items, the bright colours we have in stock will make for fun in the sun in a beach cover up, or as a tee-shirt top to pair with shorts or Capri pants.

If a home decor item is your preferred project, these yarns will work for place mats or facecloths or dishcloths...but are also ideal for funky market bags for picnics or Farmer's Markets or road trips to your favourite Alberta craft shop(s).  😉

Without further ado...here are the cotton yarns we've put on Super Special this week -- the Circulo sisters:
