In other words, give us some time this weekend to knit in peace! Then, everyone around us will thank you for it.

Now that we’ve gotten the “how” out of the way – let’s focus on the “when”. I will pick the winner at the end of the day on Monday. This means you have some time to enter, to enter multiple times in fact!

Typically, I’m not big on Valentine’s Day and the commercialism around it. Why? This day is actually the feast day of Saint Valentine, who was martyred. Yup, it’s a Catholic holiday. Before his execution, Saint Valentine performed a miracle: he cured his jailer’s daughter of blindness and falling in love with her. The two then exchanged notes, which he signed “Your Valentine”.

Above all, I hate the pressure that this new version of the holiday puts on people. People who don’t have a sweetheart get disheartened and lonely. People who do are told to buy roses, even diamonds. Come on now. If your significant other doesn’t know you love him/her by your actions every day – then you have a bigger problem of what to buy them.
