Valentine's Feathery Heart

I got this idea from Eni and I just went from there. All you need is a wire hanger and a long feather boa that you can find at any craft store. Make the hanger in the shape of a heart. Attach the boa at one end by the top of the hanger and roll it tight around the hanger until the whole hanger is covered. Attach the other end of the boa at the top of the hanger and out of sight. Easy and fun!

Hearts Baby Blanket

I made this blanket for my baby daughter Jane and it turned out really cute. I got a lot of good comments about it. It's best to use soft baby yarn. 

Hearts Baby Blanket

 

Garter stitch is knit between the hearts which are reverse stockinette stitch on a stockinette background. I used two different colors (the pattern is for one color throughout).
