These are perfectly brilliant! But I don't have the first idea of how to knit. Think I made a bookmark when I was 9 (was meant to be a scarf). Do you know any good instructables to help on the how to knit the relevanty stitches? No idea whether I could do these in time for Valentines. Probably not....
