A Little Heart

 

I played around with some more crochet last night.  This is the Valentine's Heart Coaster, by the same designer as the flower.  I used a 4.5mm hook and I think it's a little bit smaller than I'd like so I'm going to make another one using my 5.0mm hook and see if that works out better.  I'm using the same yarn, Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton.

While it's small for it's purposes as a coaster (at least for my big tea mug), it's exactly the right size to slap around, toss in the air, and try to knock onto Logan's back as he walks by (which Logan doesn't even know is a game).  At least it's perfect for those things if you have tiny gray paws with pink toe beans.  That means I'm probably on the right track with the hearts.  Max does the same thing with the knitted leaves.

What I'm really working on is the second sleeve for my Pink Dexter.  I'm hoping to get it finished up soon - the temperature is dropping around here again!
