[Nfb-krafters-korner] visiting a friend

[Carol Osmar]

Eileen, I remember you had said you bought from them.  The store is made up 
of two large rooms.  The first one you walk into is like a medium size craft 
store with everything on display.  The next room has some fabric but is 
mostly made up of rows of shelving where several people are putting together 
orders for shipping.

I got a sock loom.  They only had the single one and they just got that in. 
I asked about the wrist yarn holder.  They thought it sounded like a good 
idea but they didn't carry it. I also got a metal gaget that attaches to 
strips of fabric for making rag rugs and folds the edges in so you don't 
have to press it.
