Happy Valentine’s
day!
There is a lot of love and a lot of hearts around blogland today.
And I'm going to add to that:
To celebrate today I've made a crochet heart brooch <3
I made it with Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread size 10 and a 1.5mm hook.
It's just 3 hearts, joined together and I sewed a clasp onto the back to be able to wear it.

And here's a little peak at some yarn I'm working with at the moment.
It's colourmart Scarlet Silk DK yarn.
The colour of it fits perfectly with today and all the beautiful red hearts and roses that are everywhere.
I'm making a beaded shawl with it. Do you like to use beads with your crochet? I've started using them fairly recently but I'm quickly getting used to them. But now when I make something without beads now I look at it and think 'It would have been prettier with some beads' :)

I wish you all a very happy today and I hope you spend it with the ones you love <3

ReplyDeleteYour hearts brooch is very cute! ♥ Nice idea. I'm looking forward to your new shawl, the red is wonderful! I have used beads for my crochet or knitting only rarely up to now, but I like them very much, maybe I will improve that skill, too ;-). Happy Valentine's Day!
