Crochet Hearts
If you are looking for a fun, quick, addictive project (because I’m sure you, like me, are always finding yourself with nothing to do, right?), these small crocheted hearts are so sweet! I sat yesterday while the kids were at their after school activities and did a bunch of them. I think I’ll make them into a Valentine’s garland of some sort. I am mixing them with larger crocheted hearts (pattern found here) and maybe some miniature granny squares.
I always say I will use my stash for little projects like this. That’s why these are in this pink, cream, charcoal heather and grey heather yarn, it’s what I had on hand. But then, as usual, I start imagining other colors, that I don’t have.
It never really is about busting the stash for me. Not entirely. There, I said it…
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

January 21, 2011 at 7:11 amI am soooo excited about Portlandia, seeing that I’m a Portland girl myself and I love geeky funny TV.
I’m all over those little hearts. So glad I finally learned to crochet.

January 21, 2011 at 10:31 amThese are sweet. Another reason to crochet. Thanks for the TV show tip — always looking for good comedies.

January 21, 2011 at 11:55 amAdorable! I tell myself 4 times a day that I need to learn to crochet…
Also, I feel slighted by IFC. I mean, I am pretty sure the dream of the 90’s is still alive in parts of Seattle, too. (Man, is that song ever an earworm.)

January 21, 2011 at 6:29 pmHow funny is that show! It really is a throwback to the 90s! Even though I love that crowd, they were ripe to make fun of! The chicken scene!

January 21, 2011 at 8:14 pmToo cute. I need to make a few hearts with my stash yarn (um, right). A mutual friend (greenclogs up there) was telling me about Portlandia today. I am going to have to check it out.

January 22, 2011 at 5:30 amYou will LOVE Portlandia! So hilarious. I wonder if people outside of Portland will find it as funny as we will…

January 22, 2011 at 8:29 amIts spot on in so many ways. I love Portland!

January 22, 2011 at 8:30 amThose hearts are so fast, I quickly made quite a pile of them the other night.

January 22, 2011 at 8:30 am“Did you even notice this tote bag before? But now it has a bird on it…” So funny!

January 22, 2011 at 8:31 amThey are sooo addictive!

January 22, 2011 at 8:31 amIn less than an hour, you and your hook could easily make a garland! xo

January 22, 2011 at 8:32 amHappy to pass along good TV, there is a real lack of it these days, and I need things to watch while I crochet : D
blair
January 22, 2011 at 8:33 amI know, I feel slighted too! We should keep the 90’s dream in Seattle a secret though, you think? We definitely don’t need more traffic on these streets : D

January 22, 2011 at 8:33 amThe chicken scene was my husband’s favorite. So funny!

January 22, 2011 at 8:34 amThanks Heather, you will love making those hearts, stash or not (I always vote not).
blair
January 22, 2011 at 8:35 amIsn’t it funny?? Time will tell what outsiders think of the show, but I absolutely love it, it is dead on in so many ways.

January 23, 2011 at 8:56 amGotta check that out! I never bust stash either. When making the napkins I didn’t have all the right coordinates so I ended up buying fabric…
Seven more weeks and life slows down, then I’m going to sit with you, a cuppa joe and a hook!
