Crochet Trends 2020

Coming St. Valentine Day
Hello, my dear friends! You know, St. Valentine's 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), and 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, we don't celebrate this holiday with my husband now, but previously I was full of ideas for presents.
