As we all start to tentatively celebrate the fact that the most loathed month of the year – January is drawing to a close, we start to feel more hopeful and look ahead to brighter days once again. However, before winter is over, there is one celebration that lovers everywhere will rejoice in – Valentine’s day!
As a knitter, creating that perfect knitted gift for your beloved is probably something that you have been thinking about, but if you are feeling a little bit stuck for ideas, then here are some that could help you…
Valentines Bunting – If you like to go to town on valentines day and prefer to celebrate at home, then decorating the house is likely something that you will want to do to get you both in the mood for romance.
Hearts are one of the biggest themes of the day, so why not turn your talents to making some heart bunting to hang around the home for a romantic and cosy atmosphere? The best thing is it is reusable and something that you can use each year, or can also be used for other things, such as to adorn a baby’s nursery for example.
A Cosy Jumper – There is always something special about having a well-made hand-knitted jumper but having one that is made especially by you by your loved one is even better. If you are looking for a special valentine’s day treat that is practical as well as romantic, then this is always a good choice. Look online to choose wools and patterns, or get a knitting kit like this www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/knitting-kits which will have what you need to get started.
Special Socks – Socks are also a practical gift and with winter not over yet will be appreciated! You can adorn them with your partner’s initials or a special message to make them more unique to them. Socks are something that you can never have too many of, and a pair that has been specially hand knitted for you with love is likely to go down really well. Again, you will find many patterns and ideas online, or if you are feeling really creative, have a go at making up your own!
