Hearts With Personality

There are now officially too many fabulous hearts for me to post all my favorites—over 200 projects on Ravelry!

This little one from Mary is too silly to resist:

And on a somewhat different note, rebel crafter Jessica gave her heart a more sinister twist:

I guess it says “you’re delicious” to that special someone.

Colorful Hearts

Anyone who is a big mochi fan will recognize these hearts made by Lotus as a delicious dango combination!

If only they were edible…

Ansley, aka Bleu Arts on Etsy, also knitted up a colorful coronary assortment:

Who says Valentine’s Day has to be all red and pink?

Tubby in the Tub

I’ve been looking forward to sharing these adorable pics from Azusa, my friend and colleague who was nice enough to test the pattern for Tubby a while back.

Don’t you love her Tubby’s multicolor bubbles? She produced her own variegated effect by mixing shades of blue yarn together. Very clever.

Azusa decided that Tubby was the one who needed a bath!

I was holding off on posting these photos because I wanted to wait for the debut of Azusa’s Etsy shop! Azusa is a multi-talented designer and crafter, and now she has her own line of handmade stationery. I urge you to check out plurabelle press right now, as she has cute Valentine’s cards available, and will be adding more very soon!

Thank you, Azusa, for a fabulous test!

Alien Hearts?

Another heart knitter, Christine added funny little eyes to hers, making him look kind of like a heart-shaped alien!

It must have come from the same planet as these hearts, which were knit up by the people at knit-one-one:

I think I’d be pretty happy if these little guys decided to invade our planet!

Felted Basket of Felted Hearts

The only thing better than a tiny heart is a bunch of tiny hearts!

Martina knitted up this basketful of felted goodness for no one in particular, according to her Ravelry page about the project. I bet she can find some lucky recipients by next Thursday though. Oh! Only a week until Valentine’s? I have some serious thinking to do myself…

Martina also has her own wool shop in Whitby, Ontario. If you’re in the area, check out Kniterary!
