[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rainbow Loom

Tue Aug 4 20:29:53 UTC 2015

For me, either chat or class is fine. Thank you for keeping it simple and 
using the loom I already have (the round one) so I can see if I want to go 
further.

I don't remember if it was Cindy or me that taught the Rainnow loom class in
the past.  I actually have done the bracelets using a regular loom.  If you
would like me to teach it on a regular loom I would be willing to do it.
Then you don't have to go out and get a  Rainbow loom if you don't have one
already.  You can do the same thing on either loom.

There are lots of different stitches, but I am willing to do the basic
stitch.

Would you prefer a Monday night chat or a sign up class.

I do telephone classes only, but willing to record it.

Joyce

Terry P.and I each have one of these,and we were thinking of selling them
because we can't get the hang of how to use them.
Some one tried to teach us last year,but,they weren't very good at it. Cindy
Z,since you're sighted,and teach blind students,would you be able to teach
us a class with these looms?
It seems like there is enough interest in it.

I bought a rainbow loom last year to try and teach myself, but had to return
it because I wasn't having any luck with it. All the instructions I found
online were pictures or videos that had very minimal description. I think it
would be a very fun little craft to do if someone versed in it could sit
down and teach me.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their
dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
