It's February already! How did that happen... It's hard to believe that a whole month has gone by in 2014 so far – and still no sign of an end to the winter weather. Mind you, I am knitting a blanket at the moment and that is helping to keep the chills at bay.
But here we are: it's February 7th and only one week away from Valentine's Day! Time to think of something quick and easy to knit as a gift I reckon. So here are two suggestions for scarves that would be great for your loved one this year.
The scarf above is the chunky winter version of the Lamberhurst Scarf. It is an easily memorised pattern so is fairly fast to knit and would be perfect for your boyfriend or significant other. Oh and there's no "Boyfriend Curse" for scarves the way that there is for sweaters – a double bonus!

And here's a great scarf for ladies, and again it's a chunky version so is quick to knit! This is the Elizabeth Scarf and the pattern has lots of different size options, so it should be easy to make the perfect scarf for your friend or partner.
When we lived in Japan there were actually 2 events around Valentine's. On the day itself, the ladies gave dark chocolates to men. Then a month later there was "White Choco Day" when the guys gave white chocolate or other gifts to the ladies and also their co‐workers. It made for a lovely month‐long celebration and lots of wonderful chocolates everywhere. We definitely should institute that tradition over here!
So perhaps give a gift of a scarf to your loved one on February 14th, and then maybe some chocolates will come your way in March! You can but hope…
Happy Knitting!
