[Nfb-krafters-korner] felting resorces

[Blindhands at aol.com]

The best place to get something like this for a real cheap is go to the  
goodwill, church stores, etc.
 
I have a friend that picked up a couple of wool sweaters from the good will 
 as she had found a pattern to make tea cups from felted wool sweaters.  I  
know that after the felting she kinda rolled them into a cup shape.  Added  
a little handle   The way she rolled them made it feel on the top of  the 
cup like they were going in circles.  The tea cup was made to be a pin  
cushion.I think she did one in brown and it looked like chocolate and the color  
pin heads resembled color shots.
 
 
My friend is a teacher for the blind and works in the school system.   She 
is sighted and it might be fun if I could get her to teach this.  How  do 
you feel about a sighted person teaching us?  I have kinda talked to her  in 
the past and she had thought it great that we are promoting blind teachers to 
 teach the kraft skills.  Matter of a fact I was the one that taught her to 
 knit.
 
 
If this does not work out I can get the information from her and teach  it. 
 I could give you the summer to shop for wool sweaters. LOL
