Hawthorn's Heart💓thon 7 February 2017

A few years ago I was in Skipton having a brew and cake with a friend and noticed a crochet decoration hanging on the wall.  I can make that I thought and so I did.  Just a few granny squares in Christmassy colours sewn together then the outer green trebles added and finally the hanging cord was made using my Kumihimo card.  Simples!

I can't recall when I made this but it comes out each Christmas and is then put away.  I'd recently put it away so I had to dig it out to take a photo!  Hopefully you can see each big heart has a smaller heart (and bell) attached to it.

Hawthorn's Heart💓thon 5 February 2017

Years ago (early 1970s) I learnt to crochet and then never picked up my hook until the Japanese tsunami happened when Hawthorn organised us in our Knit N Knatter group to knit or crochet blankets for the children in Japan.  I was not prepared to knit but taught myself to crochet again (thank goodness for YouTube!). At about this time Hawthorn introduced me to Lucy's blog (click here) from Attic24 and what a great blog it is.  Lucy lives in Skipton which I know well and she crochets!  On her blog some years ago she made something similar and I present my version of her heart.  I've just had a quick look on Lucy's blog but can't find what inspired me.
