Happy Valentine's Weekend!

Hope everyone had a very nice Valentine's Day! Even the weather celebrated here as the sun actually appeared and not even a drop of rain came down. (We had the rainiest January since 1953, and back then I lived in Wisconsin where it probably snowed.) In our family there are quite a few birthdays in December and January, and that caused quite a lot of knitting:

First was a scarf that found a home with Michael: 


Then came Catherine, right after Christmas. I really like this pattern and plan to make it again.


Then comes Max.  Here's what I knit him for Christmas, and not too many days later, came his January birthday. 


I think you'll recognize this guy! He was a fun knit!:


You've already seen this hat, and here are the matching mitts for David, our speedy swimmer and best of all they fit!:


There were two more January finishes:  This one for a choir friend's new baby. (You've seen this pattern before many times.)


and this one for another choir friend who loves tacos:


It's from a sweater pattern, but I used the design to make a pot holder!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's it for now. Have a wonderful weekend! (We are spending the President's Day holiday with our local grand kids.)  See you next time; now back to breakfast and my February projects. (All are yet to be finished!)

WOW! You have been really busy. I love all of your projects and tried to choose a favorite but I couldn't. :-) . The minion is really cute, but those fingerless gloves are great. I also like the cowl a LOT! See, I can't choose.
We had a bit of rain today but it's supposed to be better next week. We had only one day in January that it didn't rain or snow so I know how you feel. I'm so ready for spring this year. I feel like I've been stuck inside a lot.
I hope you have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday.
Blessings,
Betsy

Your wonderful family keeps you knitting fun fun things. I love to see them all Judy. The baby booties are beautiful each and every pair!!!!

Awesome !! All the knit works are adorable and cute. I loved Matt’s cute cap, and he must have had a wonderful birthday. David’s mittens and pot holder designs were pretty too. I always wonder what makes the kid’s things so charming. Maybe the mere thought of them donning the pieces brings happiness. Have happy knitting, Grace!! Please visit at https://www.bloghasting.com/
