When Meredith of One Sheepish Girl announced her second Sheepish Yarn Bomb, jumping on board was a no-brainer. You might recall the very first yarn bomb from back in September, and here is the wild part: it was still out there after all those months! Tough little thing.
With the Sheepish Heart Bomb in full swing, it felt like the perfect opportunity to swap out the old one for something fresh and seasonal. Hearts it was!
The Patterns Used
Two different patterns were used to build up this collection of knitted hearts:
- Small heart pattern: Available directly in Meredith’s original post on One Sheepish Girl.
- Larger heart pattern: The From the Heart Bunting pattern by Susan Carlson, which is a free download over on Ravelry. This one is particularly enjoyable because it uses two colors to construct each heart, giving each one a lovely layered look.
Swapping out those worn, weathered bows for bright and cheerful hearts just in time for Valentine’s Day felt incredibly satisfying. Highly recommend giving yarn bombing a try if you have not already.
How Valentine’s Day Was Spent
Hot dogs for dinner, favorite sitcoms on in the background, and wrapping up the evening with husband on guitar while crafting away and working through a box of chocolates. Honestly? That is what real romance looks like, and no complaints whatsoever.
