heart the hook..





I recently had a special request for some crocheted jute hearts, I didn't make any promises as I've barely had time to look in the direction of my hooks let alone make stuff! 

This morning though, I did.   Gosh it felt so good to pick them up again and get back to it.  In the end I couldn't stop.  I hope she loves them as much as I do, there's something so compelling about the ruggedness of twine in sweet romantic shapes..

    Gorgeous hearts and small enough to find the time to get them done and satisfy your need to craft. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family. x

    They look great. It is nice to get the hook out and be creative in the madness that is the season.

    I've never crocheted with jute before but they have such a beautiful rustic appeal to them. I hope you are keeping well Mel. Have a very Merry Christmas. xx

    A couple of years ago I made some small crocheted baskets. They turned out beautifully but were murder on my hands. The hearts are lovely. I must pick up my hook again soon.

    These are fabulous, have never considered using this material but they look great.
    Question - does it hurt your fingers to use jute? I always hold the yarn to tight the thought almost brings me to tears
