Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! I hope you’re feeling loved by all of the special people in your life today. My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is that it’s Knitting Daughter’s Birthday. 🙂 And here’s one of my favorite photos of her when she was about three. Now she’s all grown up and enjoying life at college. I don’t know where the time went between then and now. I’m pretty sure that it was just a few weeks ago that she was sitting on the kitchen counter and I snapped this photo. WH and I zipped over to Indiana to surprise her over the weekend. Not for the whole weekend. You can’t surprise a college student for the entire weekend and expect that they don’t already have plans!  So we went late Saturday night and claimed Sunday morning (church) and Sunday lunch with her. It was a lot of fun and makes it a smidgeon easier to be this far away from her on her actual birthday, today. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIA!!)
So that’s my favorite thing about today. What’s your favorite thing about today? Leave your message in the comments below and we’ll run the random number generator on Friday, to see who wins some beautiful red yarn. See all of those skeins in the photo? We’re pulling prizes from there. We made that to put up on the webcam for you today, hoping you feel the Loopy love!

Happy Valentine’s to you and Happy Birthday to your daughter!
My favorite thing about Valentine’s day is surprising my three boys with a treat bag when they get home from school. This year I knit them each a little mochimochi heart. I also love to volunteer in their classroom and help with their party. They are still little so it’s “Cool” when mom shows up at school! 🙂
I don’t know what my favorite thing about today is … I’ve been on my own (manless for years), so not feeling any love in that department. I have been thinking about getting a hot fudge sundae tonight. Maybe I should & that will be my favorite thing about today:-)
That it’s the middle of summer here (New Zealand) and the sun is shining! Love the red yarns (and is that some Wollmeise I spot?).
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is all the pink and red everywhere I look! The message hearts are great too, but only if they are Stark brand!
My favorite thing about today is that the love warms us up in the middle of the cold winter.
I love Valentine’s Day because a few years ago we started where my son who is 11 takes me out to dinner we went to The Cheesecake Factory and my husband took my daughter to dinner at Macaroni Grill. We also exchange books, the girls get the boys books and they do the same. So at the end of the day we all have something new to read!
Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!
My favorite thing about today is — CHOCOLATE!!
I love that this day comes every year!
Hmm, favorite thing about today is that I made it through the day at work and am now at home enjoying the blogs and Ravelry.
Seeing “hearts” everywhere, and remembering why i like that particular shape so much! Never seen a yarn before, so that’s a good first, too–
My favorite thing about today is that my parents have always combined my birthday (February 10) with Valentine’s Day, which results in several days filled with lots of love and family time. We make it a point to celebrate how much we love each other all year but there is something really nice about having a specific time to express how much we appreciate being together. Valentine’s Day is a wonderful holiday because it does not involve money or materialistic desires as occasionally provoked by holidays that can create the need for wish lists. Plus it reminds me of my late grandfather as we used to celebrate all of the birthdays in one month at the same time at my grandparents’ house when I was a kid. I never liked how loud the parties were at the time but I really miss them now.
Chocolate!
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is all the good wishes everyone gives everyone else. At work, I got Valentine wishes from a co-worker. Totally unexpected. Love the Loopy, BTW.
I’m a teacher so I love getting all the home-made cards from my students! Plus, I get tons of chocolate =D
My favorite thing was recieving te valentine from my daughter.
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is that it is a wonderful excuse to remind my friends and especially my family that they are loved by giving handmade cards, gifts, and food :-). PLUS, it involves red, pink and chocolate…what’s not to love?!?!?!?!?!?
My favorite thing about today was the card and small gift (stuffed lion holding a heart) that I received this morning and breakfast from the hubby…
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is that it really isn’t a special day in our household, because my DH tells me he loves me every day anyway. 🙂
The fabulous thing about today in particular is that it looks like my dog is going to make it. He got hold of DH’s albuterol inhaler yesterday and pierced a hole in it. We nearly lost him, but he has turned the corner today. Yay!
My favorite thing about today is that it is my 12th anniversary! I also LOVE chocolate! 🙂
My favorite thing about Valentine’s day is my hubby and son arguing over whose Valentine I am. I’m enjoying it while it lasts! He’s three now, so I hope I have a few years left of being his Valentine. 🙂
I became engaged 45 yrs ago. Still married, Wow
Hmmm, is it the chocolate, flowers, cards….or the proliferation of RED? I just cannot choose! I spent part of the day knitting my DIC red shawlette…a good day indeed!
Favorite thing about today? A whole day at home with my hubby! Relaxing and knitting and just being together. Plus, red is his favorite color so red yarn would be AWESOME!
My favorite thing about today is working on my cheerful pink Valentine’s shawl from the DIC club, a glass of merlot, and my dd’s yummy guacamole dip (compliments of Sheri’s December blog).
Today is like everyday. I know I’m loved, and that is what makes life wonderful!
My favorite thing about today is that it is almost over for another year – here is always hoping it will be special next year! :oP
Happy Birthday Knitting Daughter!
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is that people show that they care to friends and family.
Chocolate – yum!!
My favorite thing about today is chocolate!
My favorite thing about today is that people let their friends and family that they care.
Happy birthday Knitting Daughter!
Great cards from the unromantic spouse!!
I love the CANDY!!!
Seeing the beautiful roses, even if I am not getting them, in the middle of all the snow, it is a bright hope for warm weather!
Roses and hope for warm weather!
My favorite thing about today is not feeling guilty about eating all the Esther Price chocolate I want (for a day).
My favorite thing about today is that it is our 35th anniversary!!
My favorite thing about today is that it is my oldest son’s birthday too! He’s 24, and Valentine’s is the most appropriate day for him to have been born, cause he is such a sweetheart.
It’s a tricky day for me – a memory of a loss in the family, while also being very special as my husband truly makes Valentine’s Day a wonderful day in his sweet way, while still understanding if my family and I are a bit drawn/less than festive. He always has a kind word, beautiful meal, card and just his own wonderful self making the day brighter. I’m so very lucky
The candy helps too, though *grin*
We don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day, but my favorite thing is that I’m reminded that my husband is my best friend.
I loved sending Valentines on Ravelry today!
I love the pretty heart of yarn that Sheri and the elves made for us!
I love that it’s a day to profess your love of someone who means a lot to you.
I love that today I can be completely cheesy and romantic and it’s ok!
My favorite thing is having dinner with my sweetheart (married 32 years June1st) and sharing a box of heart shaped chocolate. Oh, and sitting next to him on the couch after dinner – me – knitting, him – watching the tv. Life is very good. Happy Valentines Day to US All!
Happy Birthday to Knitting Daughter!
My favorite thing about today is indulging in a small dish of chocolate ice cream-something I haven’t done in ages, seriously. Warmer weather is approaching so I am looking forward to long walks with my dogs 🙂
My favorite thing about today is that it is my nephew’s birthday and that makes today extra special!!
It’s another day to show those around you nothing but love!
It’s a day that celebrates love
Red is my very favorite color. You are so kind to make this a special Valentines Day.
Thank you.
