[Nfb-krafters-korner] class patterns

[Blindhands at aol.com]

For the question asked regarding patterns used in classes.  Many of  the 
patterns used in our classes are designed by the teachers for the class they  
are teaching.  or they might be a pattern found on the internet and adapted  
or altered for using in the classes here.
 
Krafters Korner rules have been that you need to attend the class in order  
to get the pattern.  Now take the time to read the above once again.   They 
might have been created for the use here on Krafters Korner, but these  
patterns are not Krafters Korner's to sell.
 
Just to give you an example.  The folks at the basket class I will say  
most of them purchased the kit for the Napkin Basket or a basket similar to the 
 one I suggested.  I took the directions andI added my notes and  
explanations on how to do the basket step by step.I added my suggestions to the  
supply list and I had actually asked the maker of the kits to make a change to  
the pattern by leaving out a certain size reed and adding more of the same 
reed  used in the basket to substitute the wider reed.  There was a wider 
piece  of reed that folks could stensil in the original napkin basket and I had 
spoken  to the maker of the basket kits when I first ordered my basket kit. 
 I did  explain how the original pattern  was changed so folks would know.
 
I sent out my detailed directions to the basket kit that I had altered for  
my class to the students.  I did have students that did not attend the  
classes and I did have students that missed a class.  I sent out the  
directions for the first class to everyone that signed up.  I will send the  entire 
directions to the folks that attended the majority of the classes.   I will 
not send the complete directions notes to the folks  who did not  attend any 
of the classes.  
 
They have so many other basket kits available, I do not know if I will do  
this particular class again.  I will do more basket classes in the future  
and I might alter the basket kit to fit what I think is best.
