>> That is easier said than done, when you are not great with the internet and you only have government time. Hopefully my training with DORS will improve my abilities in this area. Most of my items have been designed by me or tought to me with tactual samples by a friend, in the past. Her basics has created my foundation and the ability to be creative. I took the rubber model, originally given out, when the Whozit was created and created my own replica on canvis.

>> I think some more crochet classes would be great! A lot of our group knits, but that's not for everybody. Since I am new, I don't know what has been offered in the past but would like to see a plastic canvas class be taught if that hasn't been done. I also wonder if there's anybody on the list who works with pony beads or something like that?
>>
>> For crochet, I think it would be great to have an ongoing class where we look at one stitch or technique per month building on our skills till we could confidently tackle a big or more advanced project. And, when folks talk about crochet, we should also think about the kinds of things we want to make. Is it little pieces that travel well, an afghan, baby items, amigurumi (stuffed critters and creatures, clothing, or who has another idea. I like the idea of starting with little hand pieces that travel well and building up to those big ones. What do yall think?

>>
>> We have new folks always joining us and since we keep trying to have new classes we tend to forget the classes we had in the past that allowed us to learn how to do the crafting we do. I would like to come up with a list to allow our new folks the experience of learning some of the basics. So let me know.
>>
>> I myself think a repeat of the votive candle holder would be a great introduction and project for the folks interested in the safety pin beading.

>> has done would be good. Everyone like one of those first necklace classes she had taught just prior to the holidays a couple years back. Would you like another sewing machine lecture?
>>
>> Put on your thinking caps or look back over some of the old classes we had in the past and let us know.
