[Nfb-krafters-korner] felting at convention

[Rovig, Lorraine]

Last Sunday I had a first lesson in how to felt from handsful of clean
sheep's wool pulled out of bags donated to our project.  I ended up with
a purse of felted wool after the lovely Sunday afternoon spent with 8
other women in a nice back yard in the sun and shade.

I hope I am free to join your felting class at convention if you can
line one up, Joyce.

Cordially,
Lorraine Rovig

Hi Joyce,
I think the blind teachers we have had were great. But we wouldn't 
want to be like some of those sighted people and discriminate against 
people who are not like us. lol  A sighted teacher, especially one 
who is used to teaching visually impared, would be great as far as I 
am concerned.

More then that, Those tea cups sound like fun and anyone willing to 
teach me how is top on my list. lol
