[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Knitting groups

Ramona, those sound like very fun things to do!  

Facebook thinks I’m a robot.  Meanwhile, they let in millions of real
robots.  Oh well.

There is a big group of crafters in my area on facebook.  Small groups of
them get together at announced times.  I haven't made one of them yet, but
hope to.  There is also a crafting group at the senior community where I
live and another at my church.  So they are plentiful  here. 

Most interesting, there is an alpaca farm maybe 40 miles west of Boise, and
it offers various tours and lessons.  I hope to visit it some time, but I
have quite a list of things I want to do.  There is a fiddlers festival in a
little nearby town in June.  I am short on drivers right now, but I can
dream!   

Best, 

Ramona

I joined a new knitting group this week.  A friend told me about it.  She’s
one of the organizers.  It’s a cancer support group, and it meets at a
bakery/café a couple blocks from me.  Very convenient. 

I really enjoy having a knitting group.  It’s fun to knit and chat, and I
can be inspired by what other people are making.  Sometimes I can help
someone, or someone can help me.  It’s nice to get out and socialize.

I’d be interested to hear how other people find craft groups to join.  I
found this one through a friend.  There used to be 2 at a local yarn store,
which sadly closed.  I know Terry P and Henry knit at their church.  Are
there other ways to find a group?
