[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kumihimo

Mon May 12 15:03:24 UTC 2014

Krafters Korner rules regarding classes:

directions, class notes given out by teachers or recordings are not to be  
given out or shared by people who did not take the class.  These are  
prepared for the students that take the time to sign up and attend the  class.

I am sorry, but these are the rules.  This particular class took a  long 
time to have been repeated as the teacher was not  available.    So I don't 
know if and when we might have another  class like this.

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!
