[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitted writst warmers, not looom, some questions

[Denise Shaible]

Yes, I'd like a class on wrist warmers on needles.  It's nice to have 
something warm on the wrists and the fingers exposed.  March is okay but, 
seems far away.  Then again, time goes by pretty quickly so, March will be 
here in no timea t all.

By the way, I hope everyone in the super cold weather is keeping warm.  I 
also hope you don't have the problem we have here in Sacramento, no rain.  I 
think it's almost 50 days without rain.  Okay, take care.

Regards,

Denise

I'd like to see a regular knitting class at some point.  That's something 
I've always wanted to try.
