The first day of Spring!
Today heralds the first day of Spring in the Northern hemisphere! Unfortunately, I think that we here in the New Orleans area (and some other parts of the US, too) have somehow already leaped into summer weather. Wow, has it been hot.
Anyway, are you getting ready to give your winter woolies a bath before storing them for the summer?
The Celebrate Spring contest for this month has received so many thoughtful, creative, and sometimes humorous entries. We’ve even had some poems! Some may bring a smile to your face, or even a big laugh to brighten your day. They certainly have to mine. What inspiration and fun motivation to accompany Spring cleaning chores in the next few weeks.
Poems were not a requirement of contest entries. It really surprised me but thrilled me, too, with enjoying them. So I thought it would be cool to make sure you had seen them. Here are highlights of some of the contest entries to inspire you in Spring cleaning your fibers.
From Lauren:
My hands were dry from knitting, my yarn was such a mess,
Than along came Jackie with her Unicorn wash and rinse…Oh Yes!!!
I washed and I rinsed, my yarn got so soft.
Oh, what sheen, what shimmer, what halo and loft!
Now I only use Unicorn to care for my knitting,
Because Jackie’s patterns are luscious, so it would only be fitting!
From MarieAnge:
My woolens are crinkled, wrinkled and bleak,
No sheep or llama would bleat
What a feat
This would be
If I won wash to make them neat!
From Mrsbondi:
Maidens to spin, oh what a quandry!
Shall it be llama or camel or sheep –
Buffalo or musk ox would be a leap,
And who ever knew Unicorns do laundry!
Knitting magic comes true –
Softness made just for you!
And Haiku from Pris:
spun skeins
waiting to be rescued
by unicorns
knit into soft beauty
