[Nfb-krafters-korner] Martha Stewart yarn show

[Eileen Scrivani]

Martha is clearly not an advanced type of knitter.  The show was, geared 
more towards beginners and those not yet knitting but perhaps thinking of 
starting.  On other lists people have said it was a big ad for Lion Brand 
and it might have been, but it was what it was.  I think over-all it was 
good just from the aspect of demonstrating to people what can be done with 
knitting beyond scarves, shawls & blankets.  The tiny museum knits is done 
by Althea Jones ( I think that's her last name) and her web site is called 
Bug Knits.  Her knits are incredible and totally museum quality!  I'd never 
have the patience to work with size seven X 0 needles for something that 
small.
