yet another heart

Pin It now!

 

We can never have our fill of heart motifs especially if they provide us a means to empty our shuttles! This one is derived from Endrucks' doily #28 and the pattern pdf can be downloaded by clicking on this link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-rWqmDAd51VwxOqtt9spD-FIX5zYDAUE/view

Remember my Crown Jewels? ( https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/05/crown-jewels.html )
On the left is the prototype and on the right is the bejewelled version. I could see a heart shape if the chains were elongated and just had to give it a whorl resulting in the heart at the center.

This is cute little motif to use for learning and applying techniques and effects (this one has CWJs and dot picot string); to embellish with beads or decorative picots; to use as a charm; to use as jewellery; .... Let loose the imagination to play and decorate!

I sent Ninetta the pdf for a quick scan and she surprised me by quickly tatting it too! In her own words -

"Thread is S-lon 0,5 usually sold for micro-macramè, it is thicker than a size 10. I'll use it as a charm. At the end of the heart I tatted a chain with 40 first half stitches and finished it with a ring with 12 ds."

So what are you waiting for? Use up the scraps.

💖 Many thanks, Nin, my partner in crime in the Endrucks Project 💖

  2. I really like the simplicity of this heart. Often there is so much beauty in the 'simple' things, isn't there? :)

    1. You are right, Steph, and yet the potential to add and embellish is available to those who wish for it 😍

    1. Thanks, Margaret 😍 It's nice to see you tatting your monthly snowflakes. Perhaps if there's leftover thread you can give this a quick tat 😁
