[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knit shawl class

[Lisamaria Martinez]

I am so disappointed that I had a last minute meeting to attend out
here. It really makes me sad when there are 5 pm classes. I try to
make them but ... sigh ... alas I cannot. But, I'm sure there are many
who can't attend a 10 pm east coast class.

Anyways ... I can't wait to have more than a minute to look through the blog.
