[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hexagon and Square hot pad looms

[Marianne Denning]

I remember seeing one of those looms at a school for the blind back in the
70s.  Blind people used to work in sheltered workshops and do many things
like this and then it became unacceptable to do this type of "menial"
labor.  I am thrilled to see all of this coming back as crafts.
