on the light switch of a lamp

 This weekend's activities included pulling out all the pink/red yarn in the house and looking at it. 

Then after careful consideration, selecting the brightest pink available to make a heart. 

I am using the hearts pattern one of you pointed out to me.  It's by Amanda Berry.

I could not puzzle out exactly how it was going to possibly turn into a heart, so I did what I normally do in these situations. 

I stopped for breakfast.   To be sure my brain was properly fueled.   Steel cut oats, blueberries, apples, toasted almonds, and a little bit of greek yogurt.  Plus a touch of strawberry preserves from the farmers market for extra sweetness. 

And I just kept going. 

Knowing that people who write knitting patterns are pretty smart and it's best not to question their methods.

It's not the neatest thing I have ever knit up.  But it's darn cute and I will probably need to make another.

I also finished reading Long Way Down today.  Oh.  Poetry in the form of a story.  About how a young man decides what the right response is after his brother is murdered.  Jason Reynolds is seriously gifted.  You haven't ready anything like this before.  Trust me. 

After all that I hung up my heart.  On the light switch of a lamp.  Because that's where it wanted to live.

Love the knitted heart. Might need to make a whole string/bunting of hearts for your mantel (or doorway, or...). Reminded me of your little evergreen trees.
