[Nfb-krafters-korner] New Krafter, hopefully.

[Annette Carr]

Blake,

I have no doubt that you will be able to learn many new crafts here at
Krafter Korner.  We all need an variety of crafts that range from easy and
brainless to complex and mind boggling.  I know you will acquire all of that
here with crafts that work for you.  Just be patient and open minded.  We
all experience bumps along the way of learning a new skill.  So be sure to
ask questions and I can guarantee that one of the many responses you get
from the list will make the light bulb come on for you.

When you are replying to a message be sure to do what we call top posting.
This means to make sure that your reply is at the top or beginning of the
new message.  Your cursor should be automatically placed in this location in
the new message, but if it is not, then there might be a setting in your

     To reply to all of you,

Silly puddy is a great idea until I actually learn something productive, and
there wouldn't be any beads all over the floor because the stupid strings
came untied LOL. But I would really like to get into some crafts, and who
knows. I might become fast enough to sell something at my local honey
festival which happens every november in my home town. I will work on my
mom, to see if she'll help me get something cheap so I can join the
conference calls. As for knitting, I started learning, but I'm stuck at a
point where whatever I do I keep undoing my own yarn, so no progress is made
at all, good or bad. I'm starting a new row, and that's where it's awefull
for me. Is the person who is doing the bead and safety pin thing selling
this kit, or is there some place I should be able to get it?
It sounds like I've got a lot of newbie friendly opportunities on this list!
