[Nfb-krafters-korner] Portuguese Knitting

[melissa tucker]

Hi Carol!  I use to be a pen pal of yours back in the 80's, I was Melissa Stafford at that time.  I got married in 1998 and have now been married for almost 16 years now.  How are you doing?  I've wondered what happened to you.  I'm not working right now, I had two good jobs in the past 20 years, but got laid off both times.  Basically customer service and data entry stuff.  Now, I belong to a couple of meetup groups in my area.  I do a lot of crocheting and loom knitting.  I've also gotten the Braille manual from Horizons for the blind to learn how to knit.  Hope you are doing well, and will talk to you soon.
