[Nfb-krafters-korner] Alternative border for shawl

Sun Jul 12 17:47:06 UTC 2015

Hello Becky,
That was so nice of him to make the fringe, now that he has the experience,
may I recommend fringe for Prince Jake. Our husbands should meet, mine is
experienced in Pom Poms, vboy they could really get creative.

We were talking fringe in this line of posts. I had a customer who wanted a
thick fringe on her tri-color purple poncho. I had my husband cut out the
fringe. He looks up at me and says sheepishly, "Beck remember I am blind
also." But really he did a good job keeping the fringe strings even. Awe the
things we make our loved ones do for us. He used by the way the top of a
cigar box to make his strings. Glad I grabbed a couple of the box lids as he
has since stopped smoking, smile. 

Becky and the boss Jake

Carol,
This is a simple border, I hope it works for you. If you want something
more, please let me know, I have other borders, but this is fast and simple.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks Terry, I think I would prefer this border to the fringe.
