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

Wed Aug 30 19:35:36 UTC 2017

Hi Jody, did you all travel to each others homes or meeting place on 
horseback or on tractors? Seriously, that sounds like it was a lot of fun, 
and I'm glad that you all still get together by face time. It also sounds 
like the old fashioned Quilting Bees.
One of the women in our Church knitting group is a Dr. Who fan, so, you know 
who I like to talk to.
Terry taught me to knit in the round, and the other night she helped me to 
finish my first hat that I made on circular needles. I'm hoping that maybe 
tonight she'll show me how to connect the stitches for my second hat.

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.
