With the weather shifting from gray and chilling one day to hot and muggy the next, are you ready to welcome the promise of summer days?

Spring is here even with the weather being all over the place! My tulips are blooming but my Narcissus are no longer in their glory. However, I am still not sure that I will go choose plants for my planters yet even though they are standing empty!
Mother's Day is this weekend, that special day when moms are honoured with brunch, breakfast in bed, flowers and anything to show our love! Well for us yarn lovers, forget the flowers because your Mom wants yarn or something related to passion for making! Of course, we also have Gift Cards!
I hope that all of you are keeping well and safe in this new normal world of ours. With the need to stay home, we knitters and makers are very lucky to have our craft to keep our hands and minds busy. I know that it keeps me more focused and a lot less stressed out than I would be otherwise. I also know that I am spending more time than ever sitting and knitting! I hope that you are too!
This weekend would have been when the third annual Local Yarn Store Day would have happened! As you know, LYS Day was canceled due to the social distancing necessity. This is the "Breathe and Hope" shawl which Casapinka designed for LYS Day 2020. The name of it is a mantra of hers right now and I imagine some of you can relate.
