When it’s cold and wet outside and you don’t need to go out, snuggling in front of a movie with some knitting is a great way to spend an evening. Since my hands tend to get cold when I’m using my computer, in honor of Valentine’s Day I decided to knit up some lacy heart handwarmers. Even though Valentine's Day just passed this year, you can wear these handwarmers any time your hands get chilly.
