Crochet hearts

Wow, that's a bit of a boring title isn't it?  Sorry about that.

I've seen crochet hearts all over the internet and I love them.  I love hearts in general and am forever buying little hearts to hang around the house.  I decided it was time I had a go myself.  Oh, before we go any further, I have been practising my photography - I took them outside, went all artistic and pegged them up!  The photos are still far from perfect but a big improvement on my usual yellowy pictures!

I made four.  2 good, 1 bad and one circular!

The pink one on the right is the circular one and the white one is the bad one as it just doesn't dip down enough at the top...

See?

Hum.  Then I decided to try this tutorial here over at Skip to my Lou.  Success!!  I'm not sure about the centres as they seem to be a bit holey, but they're better than my first attempts. 

Now I just need to whip up a batch for a garland...

Awwwwwww I think they're all sweet - and they would make a great embellishment on a zipper bag! ;)

Very sweet - and I love how you posed them! My mom makes me some every year, I should have enough for a garland, good idea!

So adorable.
Hearts are a favourite of mine as well. I like the photo representation too!

Can't think of a single problem with a circular heart - particularly of the crocheted variety. I LOVE A BIT OF WONK! Shows they are handmade with love.
