Embroidered Knitting

I've had this project from Good Knits of embroidered 'knitting' favourited for ages and I finally got around to trying it to make a birthday card for my Mum.

I used the same heart pattern as in the tutorial and made the holes with my pokey tool.

I followed the instructions to do chain stitch and I think it turned out quite well. The holes could have been a little closer to really make it look like knitting, but it still looks good.
