If you have yarn and know how to crochet a granny square you can make a blanket of daisy squares in all the Valentine colours. It is a simple pattern, the main thing is to change yarn colours to create the daisy. The colours in this pattern are really perfect for Valentine’s day.

I’m not a knitter myself. My Mother knits. My Grandmother on my Dad’s side of the family was a knitter too. I liked to crochet but it’s been a very long time since I finished a granny square and that was about as far as I got, lots of granny squares.

Also, I do feel there is a line I won’t cross when it comes to how personal and in depth I want to go about myself, especially on Twitter.… Read the rest
For some inspiration you could start with a look at the Red Poppy group on Flickr, mostly real flowers rather than designs or art/ crafts. But, there are different shades of red with poppies, some are pink and white too. You might decide to make a batch of flowers in all shades of colour.
Maggie’s Crochet has one of my favourite crochet poppies.… Read the rest
