  1. Some valentines from yesteryear:
    💌 my thermochromic Valentine reveals the message “you warm my heart” if you place your hand upon it
    💌 my brain linocut for all your zombie, neuroscientist, or anatomist valentines
    💌 then for the cephalopod lovers we have 3-hearted octopus and heart cockles

    Hope you’re feeling loved wherever you are. I made some silly cards with terrible puns for my husband and son today. minouette.etsy.com/listing/164

    "If one stands in so intimate a relationship with a man as I do with Douglass, one comes to know facets of the whole world, of men + women, which would otherwise remain closed, especially if it is a man whom the entire world has seen + whom so many women have loved."

    A 20 year friendship between Frederick Douglass & German born feminist, freethinker, + abolitionist Ottilie Assing was to end in tragedy. After learning that Douglass had married Helen Pitts, Assing killed herself by swallowing cyanide in a public park in Paris. As per her will all her letters with Douglass were burned. She bequeathed him ongoing income from a trust fund + his choice of books from her library.

  15. Bobblina Heart Blanket by Melu Crochet

    Bobblina Heart Blanket – Crochet Pattern

    Create a stunning heart-shaped blanket with this intermediate-level crochet pattern! Designed with care to achieve the perfect shape, this cozy and stylish blanket features granny clusters and bobble stitches arranged in concentric hearts, bringing texture and warmth to any space.

    This pattern includes a step-by-step photo tutorial for the bobble stitch, ensuring clear guidance as you crochet. The bobbles are worked directly into the blanket, meaning they won’t shed or fall off over time.

    Tested for accuracy and ease of use, this pattern is perfect for adventurous crocheters looking for a rewarding project. While beginners may find it a bit tricky, careful stitch counting will help you along the way.

    Make your own beautiful heart blanket and wrap yourself in handmade love!

    I have used ‘Truly Scrumptious’ yarn, this is a sustainable yarn with 50% Recycled Polyester (recycled plastic bottles) x 50% Acrylic fibre content, which is amazingly soft and feels cozy against your skin.

    This lovely blanket combines granny clusters and the bobble stitch worked in rounds to highlight coordinating colours in concentric hearts.

    There is a photo tutorial included to help you with the bobble stitch which is crocheted as you make the blanket and therefore won’t shed or fall off.

    Fully tested pattern, take a look at the blankets my amazing testers made on melucrochet.com.
