Hello Reader 💕🌸

Happy Valentine's Day weekend, friends!

We usually keep things low-key at home on February 14th and this year, I'm whipping up my husband's all-time favorite—steak and potatoes—and we'll probably cozy up with one of my go-to romantic movies: Return to Me. (Bonus: he actually likes this one too—rare win for a "girl movie" in our house!)

My brother and his wife are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a special dinner this weekend, so we're looking forward to some extra family time and toasting their milestone.

I know that many of you are still in the thick of winter so today I've just released a brand-new pattern on the blog: the Luxe Sherpa Beanie! This quick, plush hat works up in just a few hours, with a soft color-block crown and that irresistible fluffy sherpa brim. It's so warm, romantic, and perfect for a chilly date night out!

Head over to the blog to grab the free pattern and watch the full video tutorial—it's beginner-friendly with that luxurious teddy-bear texture you'll love.

I hope your weekend is filled with warmth, love, and lots of cozy crochet time.

The Peek a Boo Bunny Basket by Jodie! "Your Easter Baskets were a real hit with my family. I made a couple for the youngest grandchildren. After that, I had to continue making until I’d completed 15!—One for each grandchild, one each for the new great-grandchildren and one for each of my grown children (41, 43, 45) and of course their partners. I couldn’t forget my ever loving husband—so now everyone is ready for next Easter!"

Wow 15 baskets - Amazing! What a fun crew! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
