Moon Chronicles

We’ll be welcoming the next First Quarter Moon on March 10th.  It is also known as a half- moon  because 50% of the Moon's face is lit up. Whether it is the left or right half depends on where you are on Earth. 

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.
