Valentine's Day...

I've never been much into Valentine's Day, after all, my husband should express his love for me all year long right? I think Valentine's Day is one BIG commercial for retailers. I do get something for my kids though, they are kids and they love it. Today I was reading an email from Kathleen Cubley from Knitting Daily and I loved what she had to say :

Celebrate Your Love Affair with Knitting

When most people talk about their Valentine, they're usually talking about a person. Well, one of my Valentines this year is going to be to my knitting! I love it so much, let me count the ways:

1. It fills my life with color.
2. It encourages my creativity.
3. It keeps my hands busy.
4. It introduces me to new people who share my love for the craft.
5. It loves to travel.
6. It likes the same TV shows that I like.
7. It keeps the same schedule as I do; if I want to knit in the middle of the night, it's there for me.
8. It likes to change bags as much as I do!
9. It challenges me.
10. It keeps me company, even when I'm cranky.

Can you put it any better than that? I think every year I will now be following in her footsteps with my new Valentine's Day motto!
