Speaking of hearts, my inspiration for this project is a really cute draft I found the on Pinterest.
For yarn choices, I decided to work with warm colors, which are rarely a first choice for me. But I liked my cottage windows table runner so well, with it's rare-for-me color choices, that I trying it again.

| The natural will be the background, the colors will be the hearts. |
Being 10/2s, the hearts motifs will be small, and will make a nice hand towel with pretty stripes.
I'm working up the measurements as we speak, and will soon be able to start measuring the warp.

Valerie, thanks! Those are really nice too. I'll have to see what a sample shows me and go from there. I've collected several hearts drafts, so it looks like I should audition some of them.
That looks like a lovely pattern Leigh! I will be excited to see how it turns out.
TB, I think so too. I think I'm going to start with a sample, to see how it looks in real life.
Cute! I love the colors.
