Hearty

I knitted this yesterday (during one evening), just to practice creating pictures with textures in knitting. The pattern is from the book Stich 'n Bitch by Debbie Stoller. I learned to knit from that book and in my opinion it's the best book for complete beginners - it really shows you what to do step by step.

I thought I might use this heart as a decorative element in some project, such as a handbag, a pillow or the back of a denim jacket. Let's see where it eventually ends up.
