[Nfb-krafters-korner] macrame question

[Denise Shaible]

Joyce,

I've always wanted to learn how to do macrame.  If I got back into flower 
arranging (which I'd love to see a class on), a plant hanger would be a 
great way to combine crafts.  I don't know much about friendship bracelets 
but since it's a jewelry project, I'd be interested in it.  So, whatever you 
decide, I'm in.

Another thing, will we still be having a knitted hat or scarf class and a 
knitted bag with a tree on it?  Please let me know.  I decided to make a 
blanket to go with the baby sweater and for something to do on the bus to 
and from Convention.  It looks nice but I'm not sure if the yarn is too 
thick or not.  I got one of those 1 pound skeins in a nice leaf green color.

I'm sure you're having a lot of fun with you new grandson.  Kids are so fun. 
I don't know how the moms could do such a long bus trip, though.  I guess if 
we ever adopt or are allowed to take our nieces or nephews on a trip, we'll 
have to figure it out.  Maybe that would be a good class for a Parents of 
Blind Children conference, smile.

Regards,

Denise

How I missed this question, I don't know. Head full of fuzz showing again,
giggle.  The friendship bracelet would be wonderful to learn.  I don't have
a need to learn to make a plant hanger.  I saw quite a few years ago a plant
hanger type that had a round glass top, I guess for an end table in a sun
room. I thought it quite lovely as my British friends would say, smile. It
was very intricately made, and man was it ever long going from a hook on the
ceiling to about two feet off the floor. It was hundreds of dollars.  That
was a work of art it was so breath taking.

Now what was the subject again?

Becky and her head full of fuzz, and nurse Jake

Hi Debbie,

Welcome glad you joined us.

What type of projects did you make when you did macrame?

We have had some classes in the past learning different knots and another
time there were Macrame belts taught.

I had done plant hangers going way back when I could see and I had a lot of
hanging plants in the house.  Now I would have to think how I did it.
Any interest in a Macrame class making a plant hanger for everyone?

I do friendship bracelets every summer when I help out at Girl Scout  Camp.
I won't be going until the first week in August to GS Camp.  We  can
always have a class learning friendship bracelets with beads.  What  should
we do
first the bracelets or the plant hangers.  I am thinking maybe  the
bracelet would be good to lead into a more elaborate plant hanger.   more
thoughts
on this...

Hi,
I  am new to the list. I joined in on the chat on Monday & was real
interested what Morgan had to say. Thank you Becky for sharing him with
us.
I am looking for braille books on macrame. NLS had 1 book which I will  get
sometime. I was wondering if there are any other resources. I could  read
print at one point in my life & used to do both macrame &  latch hook rug
making. I miss both these hobbies. I heard that someone  does latch hook on
this list. I was wondering how she did it.
Debbie
