[Nfb-krafters-korner] My first big kk chalange

[Becky Frankeberger]

But wouldn't the fibers of the yarn scratch the glasses?  I should think,
and please I am just guessing, that cotton might be gentler to eye glasses,
or perhaps silk yarn might be gentler. Now obviously if he is blind we don't
care about scratches as much, but sighted would care a great deal.  Or
perhaps line the glass case with a non scratch to eye glasses material.
Just guessing all.

I do not think the glasses will catch.  My stitches are rather tight.  It
feals nice on the inside, eaven if I say so myself!
Hope I can do the closure and eye chord correctly.
Hope to make this a late Christmas gift.

That's great Terry, do be sure and let us know how it comes out. I would be
curious to find out if the glasses would "catch" on the yarn or not.
I am currently working on a figure 8 wrap scarf on the small long loom, new
loom, new technique.
I have a skein of the thick and quick, but have not decided what to make
with it yet.
