[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 8/30/17

Wed Aug 30 19:09:31 UTC 2017

Hi all,

When I lived in Florida I was a member of a neighborhood craft group. We all lived on farms spread apart so we didn't get a chance to see each other very often. We would get together every Tuesday afternoon to craft but of course it was a great social group too. The town we live in is calledLorida so we were theLorida Ladies. We even did up T-shirts with our name on it and took a group picture. It was really an awesome group and I always look forward to Tuesday afternoons. Actually, now we still stay in touch and I will do face time with the group when they are meeting so that we can all chat and catch up on things. It was that group that got me back into crafts and so when I move back up north I got back involved with Krafters Korner to have a new way of meeting new craft friends.

I think being a member of KK and learning what I have about loom and hand knitting has helped me to step forward and Join my church knitting group.  Henry Joined with me.  He is the only man and we are the only blind people in the group!

She is very interested in knitting and other crafts that require yarn.  She also likes pipe cleaners and well most anything that I don't want her to play with.  She has been practically sitting on the keyboard watching the screen while I type this, so I think she wants to join.  I'll ask Terry K. to send her and invitation. Lol  Maybe she will start her own KK, which will stand for Kitty Krafters.
