[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kumihimo

[Deb Trevino]

I would love to try this but I was intimidated by the supply list the first 
go around.  Is there going to be  another beginner's class or, even better, 
an email class?  Of is there a way I can get written directions?  I guess I 
could Google it but I bet there would be too much out there for someone who 
doesn't know anything at all about it.  Sorry for the ramble!
