Lark’s Heart
Published January 25, 2007 by CabledSheep
I was so pleased for Lark when she announced her engagement on New Year’s Day. I knew I just had to make this heart for her. I had the pattern, I had the yarn, and now I had the inspiration. I even had lavender from my garden that I’d dried earlier this year, just waiting for a good use. What could be more fitting than to make a “Lark’s Heart”. The sachet’s been done for a few weeks, but I hadn’t gotten the chance to give it to her until tonight. Fortunately, Jo had done some of these in the meantime and had blogged about them, so I already knew to expect a bunch of leftover stitches at the end that the pattern doesn’t say what to do with. (Just sew them up when you close the top opening.) Otherwise, I would have figured I’d messed something up. I suppose I would have come to the same conclusion in the end, but it was good to know about it ahead of time. This was my first time doing mitered squares, so it was a good learning experience, too.

That’s really pretty. I want to make one now!
You are so sweet to think of her. The heart is a perfect rememberance gift.
Cheryl, Grrl, you don’t know the depth of my appreciation for your lovely, accomplished, beautiful, thoughtful, heavenly-scented gift! I wanted to blog about it last night but was too tired and the lighting was wrong for a picture. I am so pleased and humbled to be thought of, and then to receive a handmade first no less! Well, okay, I am (nearly) speechless. The mitering is beautifully done, you are a quick study. I will TREASURE it always! I feel so loved! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wishing you blue skies, Lark
Cheryl, Your heart for Lark turned out lovely. Well done!!
