An Open Letter to the Weather (Or God or something)

Posted on by

Dear God,

Listen. I know you’re busy. You’ve got hunger and war and the world’s longest election season on your plate, you certainly don’t need to hear from me. But, God, I’ve got a little bone to pick with you.

It’s about the weather. You remember the weather, yes? Last week, how it was all nice and sunny and warm and I could wear short sleeves and frolic. Spring had sprung and I was most grateful.

What changed, God, what changed? This week is cold and blah (Okay, it’s in the 50s, but this is California, damn it!) and generally not conducive to skirt-wearing. This is a problem for me, because I have in my possession a brand-new, just finished Sawtooth Skirt.

Do you know how long it takes to knit a skirt? How much stockinette you must knit, round and round and round in endless circles? How much lace for the edge? And then, then you have to sew the lace on, endless seaming, and more knitting because of course there isn’t enough lace since I got so tired of knitting it. Do you know how long that takes? No, of course you don’t. You’re God. You just point your finger and say “let there be skirt!” and there it is, all shiny and new.

So I ask you God–please. Bring back the warmth. Bring back the sun and the temperatures in the upper 60s. This skirt is FINISHED and it’s not going to wear itself.

No love,

QuirkyKnitGirl

    See QKG, since God is everywhere and everything, she is also a 1950′s housewife, but, since she is far too omnipresent and therefor incapable of knitting or wearing skirts, she tends to sometimes be very jealous. Bad weather is the result. This, like most earthly things, will pass.
