Here's my second (third, fourth, fifth?) swatch of hearts. The purl line in the middle of the diamond was my picking up the stitches from the original provisional cast-on.
I went on to put eyelets inside the hearts which makes them more airy (obviously) and less hard edge looking.
Unfortunately, this beautiful shetland wool smells pretty awful and I suspect it gives me a headache. I bought it at Webs from their huge back room. It was a bargain at 11/lb. However, it's musty as hell. And now that the weather is warm and humid, its' aroma has become almost overpowering.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm working on a stole, but I've had to put it aside because it stinks. Never had that problem before!
