[Nfb-krafters-korner] Patterns

[Ramona Walhof]

Serina, I may have missed some of this thread.  However, once you learn some
very basic stitches, there are many things you can do with basic crochet or
basic knitting stitches that won't really require a pattern.  You can write
down some simple instructions in simple English or record them.  If you
don't know any basic stitches, then we might be able to find somebody to
tutor you to get started.  This winter we have had classes in beginning
crochet and beginning knitting, so they will come back, but it might be
several months.  
Ramona

I guess part of it is that I'd like to do something, anything. Part of it is
just my comprehension issues and I'm just like, uuuugh really?
Again? This is the reason school always flopped for me. LOL. Well, that and
accessibility issues. But I'll hang in there! Thanks, all of you, for being
so supportive.
