Moon Chronicles

February’s Full Moon  is called the “Snow Moon” – so named because it occurs when snow is often on the ground in the northeast area of the US.  The Native American Indians also called it the Hunger Moon because it  was a time of year when food was scarce and  game was harder to find.

Welcome to the Moon Chronicles, where we look at the various phases of the moon and see how they apply to a favorite subject:  Knitting and the community around it.  

I think it’s safe to say that,  as a knitter, creative expression  is one of the many things that draws us to fiber work. That’s why when I read that the First Quarter of the Moon is marked by creative growth, it made sense.

Speaking of yarn, this is a great time to take a hard look at an important presence in our lives: OUR STASH! I capitalized this since it’s a source of great interest to those of us who, long ago, fell in love with fiber and yarn goods of all kinds.
