[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Aisha, first of all, welcome to this mailing list! You weave? What do you 
make as a result of your weaving? I weave rag rugs out of recycled sheets on 
a home made wooden loom that's the size of a floor bath rug. I am Kendra 
from Salem, Oregon. I am a gardener, an NFB member, a member of a krafter's 
guild and will start learning how to make paper with plant parts inbedded in 
it. I love to watch hockey, football, the news, history shows, science shows 
and the occational interesting show that turns up on televition that only 
lasts a season but sometimes, I luck out and watch a few interesting shows 
that lasts more than one season. I love to read books even though I only 
read one or two books a month if I'm lucky. I do plant research on the 
internet and have found a number of good resources. I don't know of a good 
soeing machine for blind people. I'm sure that you will find someone on this 
list who knows more about soeing machines than I do. I don't know who else 
weaves besides me. As far as I know, I am the only blind person who makes 
rag rugs in Salem, Oregon. Also as far as I know, I am the only one on this 
list who makes rag rugs. There are many members who nit and soe on this 
list. I'm sure that you can learn all about soeing and nitting from them. I 
always see at least one or two soeing or nitting classes postings each month 
or so. There are more oppertunities to learn soeing or nitting than one 
could count.
Kendra
