"It's a String Thing" #229

It's Tuesday, your good news day!

It is also the first week of February and St. Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so let's spread some lovin' in our challenge this week.
 
In researching heart shaped tangles for our newest book, LOVE SHACKZ (Click top right photo for details), several stood out immediately, including Olluan by Tina Hunzicker, CZT.

Our string is one large heart of the pattern ~

What's not to love about a grid based pattern that incorporates hearts?
My post on Thursday will include "Tips for Tangling" this sweet tangle.
