I love knitting for the holidays. It’s hard to believe Valentine’s Day is almost here and January is over. I went on a search for free Valentine Knitting Patterns and found all sorts of DSCN0534cute ones that I wanted to share.  The Valentine Pattern pictured at the right is from KnitOnePearlToo at BlogSpot.

Patterns with Hearts

Felted Mini Hearts – These little hearts would make great decorations for a Valentine’s Day party or place them in a heart-shaped candy dish. Use just a skein of yarn to make 15 Heartfelt Mini Hearts.  This free  knitting pattern is perfect for Valentine’s Day. Make 15 hearts from one skein of medium weight, worsted yarn.

I love dishcloth patterns and you could make this one in all colors. I made a dishcloth for my mom a while back and she used it as a table scarf and put a vase on it-lol. Make this dishcloth in red and you could use it as a Valentine’s Day decoration too. It’s from a blog called Knit a Little More. Cute title! Here’s another heart dishcloth pattern from KnitaLittleStore.

Know someone who is having a Valentine baby? Here’s a sweet baby blanket with a heart. It’s a great idea even if the baby isn’t born in February.

How about a Valentine pillow knitting pattern? I love this one, entitled Loopy Heart Pillow.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2013 is to post more here on Spinning Alpaca Yarns. In 2012, I had several other projects that I had to finish but this coming year, I want to get back to fiber arts and creating things. Mlan for this year is to finish some shawls on my triangle loom and also the tapestry I started on my rigid heddle loom. Recently, too, I signed up for Susan Sorrel’s Fiber Collage Workshop…

I finally figured out the triangle loom weave and nearly finished my first shawl. Also, my adoption of Ricky the rescue kitty didn’t work out but I did find him another great home.

When I used to weave years ago, I didn’t have cats! Now I have three, one a newly rescued kitty I got just last week. Now this cat craves attention but he has been really good with my loom so far-I just don’t tempt him by leaving it out if I’m not around. My husband [...]
