Valentine Flowers
Feb 9th
I have a few favorite creative use of my Hearts pattern! Jennyontheblok connected the tips of four knitted hearts, added a leaf and a sweet little button, and voila: a valentine flower!
These would take a bit longer than just making hearts for those you love this Valentine’s, but still a quick project. So you could make hearts for your wider circle and heart flowers for your extra-special ones. Sweet!
Purple and Green Seasons
Feb 8th
Jenny, aka Kounting Sheep, kindly tested my Cute is Always in Season cross-stitch for me last month, and she just posted pics of her finished project on her blog. I love that she used such fun colors in hers!
Since I am new at designing cross-stitch patterns, Jenny was super-helpful in advising me about how best to design the chart so that it’s easy for people to use. Thank you for the test, Jenny!

Hugs + Squoze
Feb 6th
Update: Thank you so much to Natalie at the CRAFT blog for again featuring my newest pattern!
As promised, a new love-themed pattern for yourself or your main squeeze!
Hugs has so much love to give! Squoze is just concentrating on breathing.
Techniques for this cuddle-tastic pattern include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, picking up stitches, I-cord, and a tiny bit of mattress stitch.
Buy the pattern as a PDF download for $5 here!
Tiny Sailboat
Feb 4th
He plans to someday sail to the Far East—by which he means the puddle down the street.
Elisabeth suggested a Tiny Sailboat way back in July, so she gets a free pattern!
