It’s been a rough winter in western Canada with many days reaching close to -50 with the windchill. That’s -58 for those of you in the US. Either way, it’s freaking cold and it’s pretty hard to look good when you’re bundled up with your eyes peeking through the only openings in your winter wear. However, nothing makes you appreciate cold weather like great knits!

Jenifer Selos is a work at home mom who owns Love Bug Knits. In honour of Valentines Day, Jenifer hand-knit my daughter the gorgeous Valentine Stripe Hat pictured at right and, if possible, it’s even cuter in person! It’s soft and thick and just absolutely perfectly hand crafted.

In addition to hats, Jenifer makes mittens, scarves, and even mini-backpacks! All Love Bug Knits products are her original designs and she’ll custom make something just for you if you don’t see what you like. All items are hand knit to order with 100% organic yarn. Her pre-made items are available from her Etsy shop.

Win a Love Bug Knits hat in your choice of size & style! To enter, go visit LoveBugKnits.com to check out the awesome hats and email your faves (good luck picking!) to theopinionatedparent@gmail.com before midnight MST on 2/22/07 with Love Bug Knits in the subject line.

Congratulations to winner Betty!
