[Nfb-krafters-korner] Nfb-krafters-korner Digest, Vol 52, Issue 13

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Pipi, I joined the list a couple of weekends ago. I have tried to croshay 
myself but because I am blind and am working with a person who has not 
tought a blind person before, it didn't work. I can chain but that's all for 
croshay. I tryed the circle but had no luck with getting it down. I chose to 
stick with the weaving loom since I can weave best so far. I also saw a few 
croshay books on BARD which is the NLS website that allows you to download 
digital books and play them on either a cartrige or a flash drive onto your 
NLS digital book player or a device like a book port plus which is what I 
have. There are also a number of nitting books there as well. I don't know 
about the classes on croshay since I am a new member. I'm sure that someone 
can help you out with better knowledge than I have.
Kendra Schaber
