[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting

[River Woman]

Good advice. I ordered one yesterday, when I ordered the 000 needles. I also 
ordered point covers  in various sizes, too. Today, I am busy at work on my 
MTV Dragon necklace done is encrusted beadworking. It is nearing completion 
of the beadworking stage..getting very excited to finish it.
