Knit three last minute Valentine’s Day gifts, in two hours or less! For each of these projects I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn, available at many craft stores, and size five needles. Everything in these projects can be purchased easily, to make your crafting that much easier.
Got two hours? Knit these:
What better way to tell someone you love them than with hugs and kisses, knit style? This whole set takes about two hours from start to finish. This pattern is in the book, Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, which I got at BookWorks (a local book store), or at
www.mochimochiland.com. The pattern calls for smaller yarn and needles, but I wanted bigger, so I used the yarn and needles I mentioned above. Give these in a Valentine card, or package them in a tin, for a no calorie holiday treat.
Got an hour and a half? Knit this:

Got a half an hour? Knit this:
Or knit more than one! Each one takes about twenty to thirty minutes. They can be embroidered with your Valentine’s name, or just sent as is, either way they’re so beyond cute!

I still don't have a computer. I am posting this on a public computer in the awesome Antheneum. I will, however, try to keep posting about every ten days or so, until I can get my computer fixed. Hope you're glad to see me back!
