[Nfb-krafters-korner] LK Purl Heart Afghan

Fri Dec 13 02:06:13 UTC 2013

Well, since I'm wanting to order my yarn tonight as JoAnn's is having a sale with 12 cents shipping… I went and found a pattern with same gauge loom and Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn, but not knowing the dimensions for sure, I'm going to oder at least 1000 yards. Ok so I'll probably add a few more yards, hehe
