[Nfb-krafters-korner] any bulky machine knitters?

[Susan Roe]

Hi Joyce,

Yeah, you had mentioned that to me a while back.  It sounds real fun.  My 
sister is a wood carver and whatever she sells, she gives 5% to Dogwoodfarm 
as her controbution to running the farm.  There are going to be several off 
shoots we will be able to explore as a by product of the honey bees.  We 
have already heard from several farms that they would be willing to barder 
honey for things we don't grow here, like blackberries.
