I did up some more hearts for practice, with varying degrees of difficulty but equal in cuteness!The smallest heart is another go at a very easy heart pattern from Suzie's Stuff. The first one I did was blue and wonky, so I had another go and this one is much better and very cute. I'm thinking of slipping it in somewhere for good luck, like in David's wallet or sock drawer!
I thought I could try the square lattice heart by just looking at the picture, without reading the pattern. The change from square to round was trickier than the other heart I did from Drops Design, so I did peek at the pattern. I think my reading is getting a bit better, because I could find my place. I found a small bit of yarn left over from my childhood and used that, still not sure what will become of this heart yet.
The large heart of fans is impressive, still at first I thought I could try it without reading the pattern, but ended up following it which is from Donna's Crochet Designs. This one was a little more tricky than the others, but very nice. This one might end up in the trials and samples rug, or perhaps I'll save it for something special like a bag.
Very nice. When I make the small hearts, I run the tail uner the stitches and pull it tight to close the hole in the middle.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the tip, I'll try that next time!
