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

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I agree as I thought a fabric lining would be good and prevent  any  snags 
on yarn, too.

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.
