[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[slery]

Congrats, Tracy, on the bracelets. I think I am going to make an abacus 
"bracelet" for my knitting. I have one from Hide and Sheep and I love 
it. While I don't use it as a bracelet, I put it on a locking stitch 
marker and use that as my beginning of the row marker. I really need at 
least one more, but it is not in the budget right now (or the near 
future). I am comfortable with the stringing part and can do the clasp, 
but I am concerned about using the elastic thread to make the center 
ring the beads will need to slide through.

Boy do I know about the practice on knitting. I would typically just 
tink back if it was only a couple of rows. I have a lot of experience 
doing that since I am a perfectionist with my knitting.
