Beach heart pebbles for Valentines Day

I've been collecting heart shaped pebbles from the beach for a long time, and have finally decided how to embellish them!

Each one is (of course!) different in shape and size, and to be honest some are "heartier" than others - but I'm having great fun prettying them up.

As it's nearly Valentine's Day it seemed right to try to make pebbles sexy, so I've gone for a lacing effect knitted stitch, like corset lacing!

I've started to add them to folksy and etsy and will continue to add more as I knit them!

Rock of Ages

Walking under the cliffs at the aptly named Cliff End

I came across a strange rock:

The "lacework" is part of the rock, it's not seaweed lying on top. This area was once a flooded forest, so I'm choosing to believe that the lacework are fossilized roots, it certainly looks like it.

Weird, isn't it?
