Be my Valentine

Pass the sick bucket, it’s Valentine’s Day again. And while this year it seems you’re as likely to find loved-up couples getting their kicks from the DIY store as a Michelin-starred restaurant, the traditional February slush-fest is well and truly with us.

Of course, the crafters amongst you know that St. Valentine gives us another great excuse to get the needles and hooks out. We’re a creative bunch; so here are some of my favourite Valentine’s knitting patterns from Ravelry that hopefully won’t make you feel too queasy.

Tying in with the release of ’50 Shades of Grey’ this Valentine’s Day,
this “Spank me” heart-shaped cushion made me giggle.

For those of you weighed down by gifts and cards,
a little monster loot carrier will help you shovel them up.

A little bit broken but super cute ‘voodoo you love me?’ dolls.

The hilarious smitten – just
don’t go in different directions.

And for the doctors and scientists out there,
an anatomically correct(ish) heart.

Now go give your loved one a cuddle.
