Good evening everyone! :) I hope you all had a good day - even though the majority of the day was a bit dreary due to the rain, overall I had a good day. :)Guess what! I finished the second knitting square using the heart pattern as shown in the picture in my previous entry. What I love about it? I made it perfectly! When stretched out, it makes a beautiful chocolate colored heart :) I'm very excited to already have 2 squares done, and now I'm making one with the same pattern with the dark brown. I haven't been this enthusiastic about knitting in a long while, and I almost got started on the third square before writing to you all! Yarnwork has become fun again!
Before I share with you the pattern for the heart square, I have a couple of things to announce:
- After I finish with my current project, I have ideas for the next blanket - using the patterns that I'm using now, I'm going to create a similar blanket, but using the colors of... chocolate? Yes, the next one is themed after the sweetness and warmth of chocolate! I was inspired after seeing today's episode of Oprah, where most of the set was made out of Godiva chocolate! From the chandelier, to the fireplace and even the painting on the wall - all were made with pure chocolate :) I bet that the studio smelled AMAZING... *-* Anyway, this will be started after the first blanket is complete. Needless to say, I'm excited!
- While I'm working on these blankets, I also have in mind making either blankets or other simple projects to sell or auction :) The proceeds made toward this will be used to donate to charities. I will look at and select various charities and will let you all vote for which I will donate money to. Let's join together make a difference for those in need! Keep checking for updates on this! :)
All right, fellow knitters! Get your yarn and needles out for this simple and cute heart square pattern! Have fun!
Notes:
-I used US size 8/ 5.0 mm knitting needles and worsted medium (4) yarn for my squares.Be creative with your colors and yarn types, and it's best if you use the proper-sized needles.
