    I just want to add to this that there is a big difference in ability
    to pay and the worth of an item. As a crafter, I completely
    understand the value of items and never want to undercut what items
    are worth. Just because I am currently on a limited budget, doesn't
    mean I think things should be priced well below their true value. I
    also think that a teachers time is worth paying for a class. I AM
    NOT saying this group should have paid classes but I also don't
    expect someone to teach me something for free just because I am
    blind.<br>

        dont have the ability to do that.
        <div>maybe asking friends and family to donate craft supplies

        <div>let's face it, prices keep climbing especially on yarn and

        <div>there are other ways to save such as buying bulk items and
          sharing the order with a friend but then the cost savings will
          evaporate if you need to ship those items from the shared

        <div>i am trying to think or more ideas for people who cannot

                                                          me and maybe
                                                          someothers to
                                                          attend. could
                                                          we possibly
                                                          allow audio
                                                          recordings of
                                                          classes so
                                                          others who
                                                          cant make the
                                                          time slots
                                                          could learn? 
                                                          someone could
                                                          put their
                                                          phone on

                                                          something i
                                                          did recently.
                                                          it would then
                                                          probably need
