[Nfb-krafters-korner] Big problem

[Theresa Taylor]

I love taking left over yarns and making items. I agree Linda....some of 
them are my best projects. People are amazed at my designs and well...some I 
tell them how they come about and others I just say thank you. It is fun and 
it uses up even the smallest amounts!
