[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: What new craft would you like to learn and how ...

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I would like to be part of this.  I had gotten a couple of dropped  
spindles and never did catch on in how to do it.  I know what it means to  have a 
top or bottom spindle, but I don't know where or why you use each of  these 
type of spindles.

Cindy,
I just learned how to use a drop spindle yesterday!   Its easy peasy!
Go to youtube and search:
Abby Frankmont drop  spindle.  she's amazing! If that fails  we can set
up a time to  have a phone chat and i can explain it to you.
