I've been crocheting for Valentine's Day since I started doing Thread and Yarn Crochet and Knitting to Sell - about 17-18 years ago - like the Fiesta Red Irish Crochet Heart with White Pearls - a Beaded Crochet Heart - that is in my Etsy Shop!

But this Year I was inspired to do more by Cathy Morgan of Crafting Memories when she sponsored a "Valentine Crochet Along or Knitting Along" on her Blog!  

~~~ I made 3 new projects!  All in my RSS Designs In Fiber Etsy Shop! ~~~

1. Hearts Cluny Crochet Lace Doily

2. Red and Pink Ladies Hat For Winter - Nice Valentine Hat!

3. Handmade Reusable Cotton Red and White Cup Cozies

Thank You to Cathy Morgan of Crafting Memories for the inspiration to get these Red and Pink / Red and White Handmade pieces done - nice for Valentine's Day - or when Red with either Pink or White is the right Handmade for you!

The 3 projects above are in the "Crafting Memories KAL / CAL" Link Up!  #cmkalcal2020

This Hand-Crocheted Square Lace Doily has Bright Fiesta Red Flowers in the center of 4 Square White Lace motifs

 - Each Motif has a Bright Fiesta Red Border

 - and they are joined together to make a Square

 - with a White Lace Cluster Doily Border.

The Doily is a 9 1/2 Inch Square.

If you display it as a Diamond Shape - it is 13 1/2 Inches high and wide - Corner-to-Corner.

Bright Fiesta Red is an exciting Red that cheers up a space when used in Decor Accents such as this Doily!!!

Knitting Hats Again - and These Are Custom Made-to-Order

Handmade Ribbed Knit Hat by RSS Designs In Fiber - Shown in Blue and Gray Tweed - Custom Made-To-Order

I do a lot of Crocheting - but I decided it was time to Knit some Hats again.  Knitted Hats in a Ribbed Knit, like the one above - and the one below - are really nice because of the way they "hug" the head! 

They also have a bit more stretch than other knitting patterns,  so they fit different sizes of heads, so you can buy one as a gift and not worry too much if it will exactly fit.

But I decided to do Handmade Hats as Custom Made-To-Order, so the Customer can choose the Size from the Size list, which I have for both of these Knitted Hats. ~~ And, like in the Hat pictured above, I also can offer it in different colors to be paired with the Gray for the Tweed - I am offering that Hat in these color themes:

• Country Blue - and Heather Gray (shown in photo above)
• Autumn Red - and Heather Gray 
• Dark Country Blue - and Heather Gray 
• Dark Sage Green - and Heather Gray

It will only take a few days to make - and I will ship it on the next Post Office business day after completing it and sending a picture of it to the Customer.  I always send a picture of the completed Handmade item whenever I do a Custom Order - and ship it as soon as I can!

On the other hand - the Hat pictured below is made in a Yarn that is an Ombre Chunky Yarn of Red, Blue and Tan (what is called a Primitive Americana color theme) and I am offering it in a choice of Sizes - from 20 Inches Around Head to 25 Inches Around Head.

It, too, will take a few days to complete in the size chosen - and then ship.

Handmade Knitted Hat in Red, Blue and Tan - Primitive Americana - Choose Size - Made-To-Order

All my Handmade Hats, Headbands and Scarves are available on Etsy - and you can put in a Custom Request on Etsy, too if you want one in a certain pattern or in different colors or yarns!  Just ask me!!
