Crochet The Weather

January 2016

Conceptualizing the weather has now become a habit and in 2016 we will be creating a crochet block for each day this year. 

The centre of the block is the temperature

and

the outer block is the sky.

In 2016 we will also be featuring the poetry of

Dawna Proudman

January breeds gratitude

blowing snow

black ice

frozen windshield wipers

then dry pavement

for the drive home

beneath clear benevolent skies

screeching winds

dance the dance of seventeen veils

night after night

then perfect stillness

diamond studded snowbanks

swathed in moonlight

sinus infections, colds, flues,

carpets littered with crumpled kleenex

every task an uphill odyssey

then an entire week when nobody

not even the cat

coughs, sneezes or pukes

monochrome day after monochrome day

everything turns old potato gray

even the cat stays indoors and sleeps

then one unblemished blue sky

cracks smiles open on every face

every tongue sings hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

~ Dawna Proudman
