[Nfb-krafters-korner] Comments from outside of our group

[River Woman]

I have taken Sahar's advice and have ordered sterling silver crimp beads. I 
have been trying to use the silver plated ones, and that is what happens to 
me, too, they are brittle and then I have to restring the necklaces all over 
again, and try again with crimp beads to finish it. I am waiting on the new 
ones to arrive. I also took Laurie's advice and ordered a good pair of 
pliers and I am hoping they will make a big difference, too. I will let 
ya'll know how it works once they arrive.  NOW, I also have to order that 
Addi Size 000 knitting needle for the September knitting project...:o)
