Friday Favorites: Happy Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year

Books: Bringing in the New Year by Grace Lin and Love Is by Diane Adams and Illustrated by Claire Keane (Happy Valentine's Day and Chinese/Lunar New Year!)
Tutorial: Knit Tutorial with Rhyme
 Purl Tutorial with Rhyme
I've wanted to learn to knit for years. I've attempted a few times, but it didn't stick.  I have one set of wooden knitting needles sitting dusty in my craft room that always look at me with judging eyes. I just came across these videos with lovely kids rhymes and suddenly it all seems possible. So I guess I'll give it another go and maybe you will too!
Podcast Episode: Love to Sew: Episode 25 Sewing As Therapy
Watching: "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" (on Netflix)... pretty ridiculous, but it's a short thing to watch with your sweetheart when your tired and just need a laugh.
Kid Quote of the Week: "I want you to build me a balcony. When it's warm outside, I'll go out and say 'Ah, the fresh summer!'"
(Too bad that would be a real pain in the butt to shovel with all the snow we get in the north country.)
