Quite often simple is best. And a spot of creativity can do wonders.
I’ve many crochet projects on the go, and most are larger items which will take a while to complete. A few weeks back - you can tell by the sun! - I felt like I needed to finish something, but wasn’t sure what. I’d started to sew in some ends of my vintage hearts throw, and being the magpie that I am, I’d kept the longer ends. Along with the scraps I’d deemed too long to throw away, but too short to be worthwhile using on a larger project, the blues - and I mean literally the blues - called me.
And so it wasn’t long before I’d crocheted myself a heart. My plan was a crocheted flower, but somehow this happened. I’d searched through several patterns, and this is a mix of many. It seemed to work well as a one-dimensional piece, and with a crocheted string soon added, it worked as a keyring.
I have it in mind to try a double sided version, adding some stuffing - but not just yet. For the time being though, my little heart of blues makes me smile every time I pop out the back. There’s definitely room for improvement, but as I said before simple is good, and so is done.
