I have made loads of hearts this week so have got to the point of assembly but first I had to block the hearts to make them flatter as the corners were tending to curl.
I pinned them out on a towel then sprayed them all with water and left them to dry over night
Next I needed to decorate the hearts sewing on the buttons and ribbons I showed you last week.
After this I started a new chain stich to connect them all Chain 25 Double crochet (dc) into the picot at the top of the hearts then chain 15 until the next heart. I have 16 hearts so this took a while.
Once done I did a 2nd row of dc then changed colours for the 3rd and 4th rows
Here are a few pictures of the decorations
The finished item
Now of course arises the question of where to put it....
So what next?
I am due to start paper crafting in March but I've not chosen a project yet so I thought I would find a project that is both knitting and crochet so I turned to volume 1 of the fabulous book 'A stitch in time'
I recieved Vol 2 for Christmas and blogged about it I now have Vol 1 :o)
A moss stitch knitted jumper with crochet trimmings
I have bought the wool a dk cotton - I will post pictures tomorrow when I have natural light but its blue.
Here is the photo from the book
Its on 3mm needles so I reckon it'll take quite a lot of swearing to make....
Happy Crafting
