February 2024

As I sit here today, contemplating the upcoming month of February, I can say I hope you had a fantastic January.  I know I did. January to me is like an extension of December, mostly because of the weather. It's dark and dank, cold and wet.  I stay inside every chance I get.  By staying inside I get time to reorganize anything I want.  January was a month of yarn storage and wip reorganization for me!  I finally have myself back on track and ready to finish up a few wips and start some dream knitting. 

Now it's February, bring it on! February is a month where everything seems brighter, happier, and mostly full of love! Valentine's Day is upon us, the day of L-O-V-E.  This day does not have to only be about a partner. For most, Valentine's Day is a day to show love, so why not show love to everybody in our worlds. Our parents, kids, teachers, friends, co-workers, the people you stand next to in the grocery store (don't forget the milk!), the grumpy guy in Home Depot.  We don't have to buy them flowers, but open a door, go out of your way to say hello, a simple "look them in the eye and recognize them" will work.  Not only will you make them feel great, but you will feel wonderful yourself.

This month's intro is not only about yarn, fibers and all the fun stuff, but it's also about feeling good. Go out and do what makes you feel good! Reorganize, sit and craft all day, forget about the laundry, order a pizza for dinner.  Feeling good about yourself will make you feel invicible. 

Put your cape on and smile! You look Absolutely Marvelous!

Lisa, Cindy, & Mary
