Typical May Long Weekend Weather


 Whether you consider it a global warming crisis or just the Earth breathing like it has for the past thousands or millions of years, the old saying 'April showers bring May flowers' feels a little different the past few years. It has snowed well into May and despite Mother Nature's best efforts to discourage them, the vegetables in the garden and the flowers in their beds are growing. As if to thumb its nose at Mother Nature, the crabapple tree in the back yard has created its own snow cover, all untouched by the low overnight temperatures.

Why do I bring this up on a yarn store's blog page? This weather has affected us all. Whether it is stabilizing or de-stabilizing our mood or solidifying our desire to stay indoors or venture out for a brisk walk, one thing is certain. This cool, almost fall-like weather, has a lot of us wanting to knit or crochet.

Surprisingly, since the Farmer's Markets opened earlier this month, more people are roaming the outdoor markets than are enjoying the more sheltered indoor ones. That makes me happy because the pop up store delivers so much more bang for the customers' buck when they can actually pet the yarn. 😀

Speaking of yarn, this week we will be focusing on sock yarns and merino roving.
