[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello there..

[Linda Anderson]

Hello Deasy. My name is Linda. I have been blind for 14 years. I did some 
crafts before I went blind. I like to knit on the knitting looms. I also do 
plastic canvaas and ceramics. This is the place to learn. Ask away and 
someone will have the answer. . Welcome again.
