[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: What new craft would you like to learn and how will you go about doing this?

Sun Jan 16 16:39:13 UTC 2011

BLOWING???/ Wow, finding the hole is a big problem and takes me foresver to 
do it. Never thought of that. My biggest problem is feeling the beads, 
needle, and fireline...becoming sensitive to the materials - my biggest 
hurdle to overcome. I have been able to get back to knitting again and do it 
every day, so I am sure the bead working will come along to but I think it 
is going to take me much longer to "get it." with the beads. Thanks, 
Annette. Lynda River Woman

>> Well, learning how to crochet is definitely doable, especially since

>> you are learning this new thing for yourself, and not to please them.
>> Don't set yourself up to adhere to a strict timeline when learning a
>> new craft.  You are not obligated to love or even like something after

>> you might find that it is just not a good match for you.  But no
>> matter the end result, you learned something, and there will come a

>> Even if it is to say, I'm not good at X, but if you do that part, I
>> can do Y.  Life is all about each of us doing our part, no matter how
>> big or small.
>> So if you learn to crochet items with very intricate stitches great,
>> or how to make the chain stitch on your finger and not with a needle,
>> grate again.
>> If we all liked every food we tried, it would be a very boring world.

>> Happy crafting,
