[Nfb-krafters-korner] busy thoughts

Wed Nov 14 18:29:46 UTC 2012

I think we all need to get one of those rocking chairs that makes  
hats[rocking and resting], the weaving loom that is based on a Braille  
keyboard[learn or practice our Braille], lets string beads[to make  abicuses  for us 
all]I am sure we can figure out something for walking on a  tread mill that 
will  turn something to knit socks, hey let's hook [rug or  crochet] up with an 
inventor and sew something up!

Go,  Jill, go.  Most of the time I do not want to put my crafts down.  I  
usually have to when my body starts hurting with back pain.

Thank you   Joyce!  I am learning so much  my thoughts are crowded with pin 
 assembly and stitches just before going to sleep.  I figure one night I  
will sleep craft and wake to a half yarn and safety pin  scarf!

We have 2 classes booked already in Jan and Febr. with Sara  for doing a 
scarf with this yarn.

Thank you anywise.  Sara is  trying out some different yarns simuilar  to 
this and going to let us  know her findings.  This way you might want to sign 
up for both classes  and give a test out working with the different  yarns.

If  no  one else is teaching a class once I've made a few and feel solid 
I'd  be  happy to teach a class.

Isn't Sarah going to  teach it in January.  That is why  we started talking 
about  it.  I think it was the yarn we needed for  the class.

I've just bought this kind  of yarn, and have a  friend who is going to 
teach me how to make the scarf  with it. I'll let  you know how it goes.

Susan,
I am not  the expert on the red heart sashay yarn, but I  can relay what  
Sara
Sikes researched for us on the yarn palate class.   The  following is 
directly
from sara's notes.  It was an  excellent  class.  She is doing another 
class with the same type  descriptions in  January.  Maybe you could sign up for 
it.
It was  really helpful  especially for the colors.  Here it goes with   the
description:

Texture: This yarn is what is known as a  ribbon,  ruffle, railroad, or 
flat yarn. Instead of being a skinny round  strand,  like most yarn, it is a 
flat ribbon like shape. It is made up of  many finer  strands of yarn woven 
together to make a loose mesh fabric  with small  rectangular holes along one 
long edge of the ribbon, diamond  shaped mesh as  its main fabric, and a 
thicker long edge opposite the  working edge which  has metallic threads 
alongside threads that match the  main colorway. When  laid out flat, and 
stretched to its optimal size,  the ribbon is about four  inches wide from working 
edge to metallic edge.  This yarn is most often  used to make ruffled  
scarves.

Jill:
Tell me more about Red Heart Sachet   yarn?  Is it four-ply? What is it 
made of? how much does each skein   weigh? Is it only available online or is it 
in the   stores?
Thanks.
Susan Ford
