[Nfb-krafters-korner] circular needle question

Thu Aug 5 04:02:39 UTC 2010

That's funny you mention the bags with beads...several years ago when I had 
to learn to knit for my occupational therapy certification....I had a senior 
citizen I was working with and she loved using the cotton yarn and she would 
place beads into the pattern. I was just thinking of how to do that in a way 
that would work...Let me know what you come up with and if you need some 
beads...I could send them along.
Peace,
Theresa
