But the bad weather isn't so much fun when you're an adult and have to shovel it, or drive in it to work (cause work rarely closes, even the schools rarely close any more). And the cold is just plain cold now.
It was nice to see something great amidst this cold and snow, a new sort of yarn bombing: knitters and crocheters would leave scarves in handy places for anyone out in the cold who needed one to take. I thought it was an awesome idea, and although the 'old-style' yarn bombing was fun to see, this one is fun AND useful. A great way to use up stash, spend time doing what you love, and give to others.
I may just have to try this next year somehow. Another idea is to make winter accessories up and take them in to the local foodbank. I have been told there is a table there for those who have need of the foodbank, where people can pick from the table non-food items they may need.
Some of our team members sell yarn in their shops so I thought I would post a few of those today. Keep in mind, some people do have allergies, so if you do plan on scarf bombing, a content label might be a good thing, especially if you are using wool.
