Today I bring to you another example why I love teaching so much, no matter if it's online or offline, the interaction brings up beautiful results and spreads happiness.
The celtic heart knot is of course not an invention of mine, not the knot itself nor the idea to make it into a necklace. over the years I was always making it using the thinnest wire crochet chain I could produce, the 4 base stitch. if you are a long time follower you know it is not the easiest to create, and therefore although making the knot itself is not difficult at all, this designs was not offered to everyone, and whenever a new client bought it as their first project I would skip a heartbeat, hoping they will succeed although starting with a non beginners kit,
So there it was this wonderful design that anyone could enjoy making, but with the obstacle of an advanced wire crochet level. All this changed when on one of my offline classes, Dina, which is a veteran participant, attending our gatherings for years now, asked to make the celtic knot necklace but much bolder. My first reaction was I wasn't sure that would work, and I can't recall if she made it with 10 or 12 loops, my worry at the time was that it will not be flexible enough and will not bend nicely into a knot. But it turned out very nice and unless I'm wrong she even made a second one for someone else by now.
Seeing the success of the designs on a larger scale made me want to make it accessible for beginners too, this is why I wrote it all from the start as a stand alone wire crochet pattern. It is a available in all 3 versions:
1. a PDF only with images, illustrations and all the required explanations, a total of 24 printable pages.
2. as a PDF plus VIDEO tutorial, with all the steps showed in close up shots, all filmed form my point of view to make it the easiest to follow.
3. and of course also as a DIY GIFT KIT, with all the required supply and tools.
This celtic heart knot necklace will look lovely also in color, almost any color, so this is available too ...
