A favourite moment in my life, many years ago, I came upon a young black bear laying on his tummy in a sea of dandelions.
Healing from emotional and physical pain.
The warmth and power of the rising sun.
Surviving through all challenges and difficulties.
Long lasting happiness and youthful joy.
A symbol of fighting through the challenges of life and emerging victorious on the other side.
For me the, dandelion has always been a beautiful, joyous flower when flowering or in seed.
A perfect harbinger of spring and new beginnings.
This week, while going through my yarn stash, I found an unfinished project – The Creekside Cable Hat in dandelion yellow and I was inspired to complete it.
In another project bag there was a Fleece Artist blanket, waiting to be worked, also in an amazing spring yellow.
It was time for Dandelion Knitting.
The Twisted Purl Yarn Studio is once again, open for business.
While we were closed for ‘social distancing’, Nikki worked on developing our new e-commerce website.
In between home schooling and navigating this ‘new normal’, she {with the help of our good friend & tech expert, Tasha} has created a whole new look for The Twisted Purl. We look forward to being able to serve you better!
In honour of the Dandelion, I would like to share with you a recipe – Honey Dandelion Shortbread Cookies.
Here’s to dandelion knitting and cookies!
Happy Spring,
Kathleen
