'Cos I was going square eyed..

I decided a little break from straight squares and to try and teach myself some better stitches.

So I made a little heart :)

This sounded really simple but as you can see I didn't quite get the hang of the difference between K2tog and SSK so one side is a little loose. The pattern made two of these the stuffed them and made them into a keyring but I only made one for now, so I something to look forward to after more squares!

This is the first time I have had to cast off some of the stitches which had been worked on more whilst leaving the others on the needle and rejoined the wool to them afterwards.

Practise will make perfect but I'll keep trying! Thanks to Let's Knit's valentines edition for this one :)

Time spent so far 7 hours and counting...
