[Nfb-krafters-korner] craft backpack

[Becky Frankeberger]

Oh I just got my backpack today.  It has several pockets for larger and
smaller projects.

I was told by Marilyn the designer of the pack to make sure I listen to the
video on the web site how to fit the pack in the correct way. 

Tell her I sent you, Becky from Washington, smile.

I have one of these backpacks, and it is nice not to have to take off the 
backpack to get things in and out.  It is also nice to have two separate 
compartments for large items.  It sounds as though the price has come down 
since I got mine.  I have used mine for traveling, but I have used one side 
for knitting things and the other for general stuff.  they are comfortable 
to wear, although a little hot in the summer.  They also make you look 
pretty hippy if you care.
