[Nfb-krafters-korner] LK Purl Heart Afghan

Debbie,

Will each heart be made separately and then sewn together to make the width 
 and length that you want?

Hi,
I  measured around my loom which is 4 ft. 1 inch length & about 3 ft. 
across  
depending how wide you want it. I have done 1 whole heart which I used  
about 
1 1/2 skeins which knitted 3 inches. I am using this pattern on this  loom 
for the first time. I am guessing. I wanted to share it with you  all.

Deb,
What is the over all dimensions of the blanket once it  is finished?
That might give us a better idea of how much yarn to  purchase.

Hi,
I have the first whole heart done boarder to boarder  across. I did it as a
solid color. I used Lion Brand Jiffy 1 1/2 skein.  This gives about 3 inches
long. I am using the cindy Wood afghan round 1/2  guage loom. It depends on
how big you want to make it. I also have made it  as baby blanket us Lion
Brand Home Town USa varagated color & used the  same abmount of yarn. I did
not think about doing more than 1 color across.  I don't think that you want
to do more than 2 colors across because tring  to get straight which color
you are using. I probablly would do the boarder  & the heart 1 color & the
background another color alternating the  same way we did making the strip
stocking.

Wouldn't it have to be done  in a solid or verigade.  I would think you 
would

be going across,  that would mean, doing part of the boarder, background,
heart, background,  and back to the boarder?
How could you change colors in the middle of a  row, inless you were going 
to

sew the boarder to the heart.  I do  not think so!!!
How many scains do you think it will take and any color  ideas?

So the borders will take the  least amount of yarn right?
I'm getting ready to submit an order for my  yarn and trying to figure out
how much of each color to get.
I'm going  with a pine green, with fisherman white heart and a  
crimson/white
border.
Or maybe I'm not envisioning this  correctly?
