Coming St. Valentine Day
Hello, my dear friends! You know, St. Valentine Day is coming, and a lot of people prepare "hearts" presents. My daughter asked me to knit her a scarf with hearts (I showed you the pattern some days ago), youngsters buy a lot of heart-cards. What do you think of this holiday? Do you make presents for your beloved or do you think, that it's more for youth? As for me, now we don't celebrate this holiday with my husband, but previously I was full of ideas for presents.
