Whilst watching the swans graciously gliding, I caught sight of their webbed feet paddling profusely beneath the strong tidal river. There was even a comedy moment when one skidded to a halt, at an angle much like the skiers and snowboarders do!
So, as Spring is showing signs of springing and the blackbird sings his tuneful song dawn until dusk, I have been hectically hooking in the background - behind the blogsurface!
During February I hooked some hearts
This one was for my Valentine...
...Mr RW...
It is made from two strands of the fabulously colourful Easyknits 4ply I had from my birthday
last Spring!
Its amazing to see the zingy colours change with each stitch and its such a pleasure to crochet.
I used my petal pattern from the plarn snowdrop, stitched two together and stuffed the small pouch with short ends...lots of reminders of my previous projects!
I love the three dimensional nature of the final shape!
....nooks and crannies!
The added bonus is that I can see the wonderful colours everyday, as it is still on display!
From the same wool...this granny pocket heart was sent to a friend ....
and this one, using two different strands, to my Sister-in-Law for her birthday...
All in all a hearty 25gs busted.
My petal pattern has been modified three more times for a couple of Easter projects and another floral motif....looking forward to sharing those soon too!

I love the way you combine different yarns........it has such a lovely effect. Great use of short yarn ends as well. Have a great weekend.
These colourful hearts are really cute, I particularly like the first granny one, but they're all lovely! :) Have a nice weekend! ;)
Your hearts are beautiful Ali, I do love the colours in that yarn. :)
Lovely valentines gifts! Looking forward to see what you have been making with your modified pattern! xx
I absolutely love the hearts, Ali and the colours are gorgeous. Love their three dimensional quality.

All your hearts are so colorful and unique looking. Love them. hugs Judy
That yarn is gorgeous Ali! Love the little pocket hearts, and I meant to make some myself, but I guess I forgot. I knit up a few cotton hearts that are still hanging around our house too (along with my pinecone garland and snowflakes from Christmas!) Enjoy your day :) Wendy x
