Readers En-Gauge: Valentine’s Day

January 21, 2013 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns 75 Comments

readers engauge blog logo1 300x63 Readers En Gauge: New Crochet Stitch or Knitting Stitch

It’s finally starting to feel like winter around here. I have a feeling we’ll all be crocheting and knitting with heavy yarns for a while longer!

Last week we asked you: What new crochet stitch or knitting stitch would you like to learn and why? What would you make with that stitch? Be sure to check out the answers from last week – there were quite a lot of people sharing new stitches!

Though it’s cold and Christmas has passed, it’s not too late to warm someone’s heart with a handmade gift. I can’t think of a better way to show someone I care. So this week’s question is…

What do you knit or crochet for Valentine’s Day?

Let us know below in the comments. We’ll be keeping an eye on what you post, and if you’re lucky you can win something fun AND be featured on Stitch & Unwind tomorrow!

    I have all sorts of patterns saved – esp little toy hearts, but I never seem to get around to making anything for Valentine’s Day. I’m usually still in my post-holiday crafting slump
