Lace Heart Knitting Pattern
Ok, I have just spent half a day trying to figure out how to set up a web page in Geocities. Maybe more than half a day. Me and the internets don't always get along. I did this thinking I would have a little more scope for laying it out than on the blog. Well yes and no. I still haven't figured out how to get the chart on, a picture and line by line directions are below
Oh yeah, and I forgot to paste in the abbreviations. CDD mean Centered Double Decrease (slip two sts together knitwise, knit one, pass the two slipped stitches together over the one just knit). Everything else is standard. I'll try to fix it tomorrow. (now fixed).
I will prevail over my computer, I will prevail over my computer, I.... oh you know the rest.
I'm going to bed now.

Blocking
Cover a small piece of corrugated cardboard with plastic wrap. Wet the piece throroughly, and squeeze in a towel to remove excess moisture. Using rustproof pins, stretch and pin it into shape.
When it is almost dry, brush with fabric stiffener (or white glue diluted with water), or spray with starch, and let dry completely. If you want to hang your heart, make a loop of thin ribbon, yarn or crochet cotton, and attach to the top of the heart.
