I’m very excited to announce that I have a new pattern in the current issue of Craft magazine!
For their Play issue (which hit newsstands about a week ago), it’s a reversible chicken and egg!
The pattern is super-easy, and the issue is packed with lots of other fun play-related projects.
Thank you to Arwen at Craft—she was awesome to work with on this!
This takes the Valentine Cake!
Kitty from Singapore fashioned this gorgeous Valentine’s Tree out of knitted hearts (obviously) and scrapbooking materials.
She also had a similar idea as Be yesterday and whipped up some “Hearty Flowers” to dance around the base of the tree.
If this doesn’t win you over for this much-maligned holiday, nothing will!
This little heart, topped with crazy dreadlocks, may be my favorite heart yet!
Lynn made this adorable musician heart for her musical husband for Christmas. You can see her own knitting patterns, yarns, and more at her website, ColorJoy.
OK, I guess I have two favorites— check out this amazing heart-plant by Be:
That would make such a great Valentine’s gift, don’t you think?
Well, think I may finally be all hearted out. A big thank-you to everyone who shared their creations with us!
Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!
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.
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!
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!
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!
