The hearts are lovely jennifercw . I’ve seen something similar done in paper and in fabric but these are light and airy and so much nicer. Thanks! I'm wondering if I should keep the ribbon loops so they can be hung somewhere or just tie a bow up on on one of the "shoulders"...

DH wanted a hat like mine, so I made him one without a pompom on it. Then a friend wanted one too, so I'm now making my third yellow hat, with 2 more orders. Haha!

If everyone that is getting one wears them same time, same place, it's make quite an impression. Which reminds me of the videos I've seen if couples gatherings where all the husbands, unbeknownst to them, show up with same top/shirt/sweater on that all their wives picked out for them.😂

We had this conversation. I bought a mustard padded Regatta coat a couple of years ago, and made myself this hat to match. DH recently bought a different Regatta coat in the same mustard colour. I did point out that we'd have to wear different coats when we were out together, because we'd look like a crazy matching couple, and he agreed. I have other hats. He doesn't, but I'm working on that! I only see the friend a few times a year so that's OK. Haha! Thank you for the love, and to snoopy too. We have 3 squirrel cushions now. People keep buying them for us. Can't think why!

Gorgeous sueg. In my teens I knitted a sleeveless grey top similar to the pattern you are using. It became a favourite.

I made this little guy from a video tutorial from the company Living Felt. The pattern is called Storybook Bunny, if anybody is interested.

My progress so far on a blanket for Ally. I decided to use I Love This Yarn because it’s so soft and durable. ETA: I’m going to have to take a better picture in daylight! The colors are so much prettier than in the photo!

KelleeM, really like the colours you picked, and love how squishy it looks. How big will it be?

Fellow crocheters! I hesitate to include myself in that, considering how little I've done so far. But does this link work? It is SO beautiful! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRtNPu9v/

I love that tmarschall & wellway. It's definitely something I could see myself wearing. It calls for premier yarn. What is the deal with them? Something happened years ago. Was it homophobia? I remember some kind of controversy that made me want to boycott their yarn but I can't remember what it was. Anyone remember?

No help on the premier yarn controversy.

tmarschall I think that sweater is so pretty! The very first thought I had when I saw it was of that lovely rainbow yarn that jeremysgirl posted a while back. The rainbow didn’t quite go with the beautiful orange, but it could be so nice in something similar to that pattern.

I've enjoyed seeing everyones' crafts, and wish I could comment on each one. snoopy ...your sheep, bears, and bunnies are sooo cute! I had no idea what felting was, and now I know. I may try it someday. I love this ombre rose wreath (sorry, I don't remember the you-tuber I got the idea from). I've posted this before, about 3 years ago, but since Valentines Day is near, thought I'd post again. BEFORE Shiny red heart decoration from Dollar Tree: DURING Take allll of the shiny stuff off, then paint the red squares white. AFTER It's hard to see, but I love the way she wove burlap ribbon in between each square (I would never think to do that). After painting the squares white, I chipped the paint to make it look "rustic".

jennifercw...your baskets are gorgeous, and those hearts are so sweet! I've never known a mom who sends treats to their college kids AND their friends---you are so kind! KelleeM...that blanket looks sooo soft. Even though you said the photo doesn't do justice to the colors, I think they look very pretty and vibrant. jeremysgirl ...LOVE the Winnie The Poo blanket! I've always loved Pooh so much, and I still have one that belonged to my baby brother. I'm stunned that you can create the images ON TOP OF the crocheted blanket! I kept looking at it, wondering how they got the characters and words on, since I didn't know those could be crocheted on top, too! I'm so intrigued. Do you have to make the whole blanket plain, and then add the characters/ wording, or is it all done at once? I wonder if I could do this?
