I love you much more than...
January 30 2015 – thisisknit
We know for some of you the 14th of Feb is a key date in your calendar, and for others it's a "Hallmark Holiday" to be ignored. But... if you indulge your hidden romantic for a moment to join our fun "Valentine Verse" competition then you could WIN a skein of delicious "Pembroke Silk" from Townhouse Yarns.
So, impossible as it is to imagine, there are some people in our lives that we love more than our craft, and we're asking you to complete the phrase "I love you much more than..." along a knitting or crochet theme.
For example:
I love you much more than Pure Cashmere Scarves,
made of hand-dyed yarns from far away shores.
or how about:
I love you much more than my Colour Affection,
perhaps you might buy me the yarn for my next one?
or even:
I love you much more than my whole yarn stash,
And, really, you know how much I love that!
Simply post your entry (or entries) in the comments below, and we will select a lucky winner on Valentines Day!

I love you much more than knitting colours all day,
Though I hear there’s some fun in just shades of Grey,
So wrap me head to toe in softest Pembroke,
And maybe I’ll give you that “come hither” look.
I love you much more than a skein of Pembroke,
I much prefer knitting than having to cook,
But it’s Valentine’s Day so let’s take a break,
Off to The Pepperpot to savour some cake,
I’m scheming to add to my “townhouse” stash,
So it’s into “This Is Knit” to part with some cash.
I love you much more than this rhyme can invoke -
‘Cos honestly you’re such a wonderful bloke -
But order for me some Silk yarn from Pembroke
For a “This is Knit†scarf I could make – yes, bespoke,
Then I’ll give you your answer – be “one of your folk†–
And you’ll keep me in stitches forever – you joke!
I love you much more than
Your fingering-weight sweater
Which is all errors
And no errata.
Rip, rip, rip!
I love you much more than this passion-knit yarn
Or diamonds or purls could convey,
‘Cos our hearts are entwined, my dear Valentine,
Like an intricate piece of crochet.
We’re knit, two together, and darned well we know
That our pattern is dyed-in-the-wool;
Never mind riches, you keep me in stitches -
And our teamwork is still pretty cool!

I love you much more
than my new skein of lovely angor. . . .
. . . a yarn
I love you more than crochet and knitting.
Sew spinning your crafty yarn seams fitting.
Well singles I’ve done.
Doubles are more fun.
Townhouse treble soon……so we’re not quitting.
I love you much more than my vibrant, squishy yarn stash and my clickety-clicking needles.
I love you much more than my precious yarn stash,
If I give you a squish, will you give me more cash
So that I can buy even more of the above,
Now I don’t call that greed, I call it Yarn Love!
I love you much more than myself, and that’s the reason why, to knit you a sweater, I got all the yarn on the shelf.
I love you much more than new balls of wool
More than circular needles and pattern book
I’ve put them aside to make room for you
My amazing nephew Fionn
To see you my piggy bank must stay full
So I daren’t even venture to take a look
At all those skeins of gorgeous texture and hue
That could diminish my fund
Instead of fancy projects now I mull
Over this old yarn, those needles or that hook
And wonder if there’s something to make or do
For wearing or play time fun
It’s worth it you know, for I am no fool
And I love you much more after each new look
For cuddles and kisses I’m front of the queue
Racing to you in London
I love you much more than my red ruby yarn
and I am knitting you a jumper for this Valentine.
Please tell me my efforts will not be in vain
and you will give me a ring on this special day.
I love you much more than my knit pro interchangeables, and if you get me a pair of 3.25 symphonies, you’ll complete me….

Blue-Faced Leicester are sheep
holding their breath
till you with baited breath
requite
how I love you,
let me count
the stitches
I love you much more than my stash of yarn for socks.
Even more than a box of dark creamy chocs…
You indulge my passions every day of the year. Love rocks!
I love you much more than having the right number of sts at the end of a row, Tink K2tog could M1 girl glow!
For Bonnie & Scamp, my mutts!
I love you more than Knitlab shawls, luxury yarns and lace with beads,
just as well, as all that I knit or own now grows dog hairs like weeds!
I love you more than
knitted socks
cosy throws
crocheted hats
and fluffy pillows
