Stock up on winter items now

I went into my local Family Dollar store the other day. All winter gloves and hats were 60% off. Then I remembered. Oh, yah. They start clearing out winter items (even though we need them until April) and bring out the swim suits in January. How dumb! So if you need a new pair of boots or something, better get it now. This is one of the reasons I knit and crochet. I can make it any time I want to. I don't have to be a slave to the fashion world's schedule.

Yup! We "stock up" on yarn, and then we spend the rest of winter indulging our fascination with string (and not bikinis, either)!

In spite of all the marketing hoopla, I want to work on winter stuff in winter and summer stuff in summer. I bet a lot of knitters/crocheters feel the same way!
