[Nfb-krafters-korner] You Missed a fun project

Wed Mar 20 00:27:51 UTC 2013

Hi Terry,

How exciting! So you wrote the book on the plastic canvas subject, for the
blind. I get the Mary Maxum catalog and my husband told me there is a
plastic canvas castle complete with furniture in the catalog. There is also
a coach, a cottage and a doll house and furniture. I would love to be able
to make things like that. Is that possible, after I learn the basic concept?

 Welcome Paulette!

I am the one who wrote the book on plastic canvas, that Verizon, sells.
Have you done any?  What do you want to learn to make? 
I have tought the loop coaster, twice.  Henry and I are thinking of working
with each person, one on one, to get everyone on the same level, before
maybe trying a cleanex box.  Some people had trouble finding the holes, in
the canvas.  It is really easy, after you get the hang of it!  There is so
much you can do with it!

I never thought of teaching crocheting or knitting classes. I just assumed
that these classes had already been taught on this list.  Well, we all know
what happens when we assume, don't we. Smile. I could also teach a class
about knitting with 2 circular knitting needles. I will have to check into
it.

No, honey, I've been here a couple months and signed up for classes last
week! Smiles! It's fun being here and I know you'll like it! I believe you
are a crocheter, right? You could teach classes! Smiles!

Hugs
