[Nfb-krafters-korner] circular needle question

Thu Aug 5 12:15:09 UTC 2010

Here is a website that has kits for doing beaded knitting. The patterns are 
lovely; necklaces, bracelets, bags, etc. I have bought several of the kits, 
before losing eyesight. I have not yet worked on any of them, but will pull 
them out one of these days and get started. Right now, I am very busy 
working on the encrusted beadwork piece that I had to abandon 2 1/2 years 
ago when I lost my sight. I am just thrilled to AGAIN be working on a major 
project using beads.

This site is amazing...for someone who wants things that are beyond the 
mundane or ordianry. smile
