[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday

[Becky Frankeberger]

Great question Nella, smile, everything. All my life was "you can't you
can't, I don't have time, it's too hard for you, and on and on" So when my
Aunt talked my mother into teaching me how to knit, then a year later how to
crochet, I was so happy. Still even though I showed people I could, they
still said I couldn't. So I stayed happy with what I could do, then just
jumped off that into designing. I learned here I can learn to do beading. I
learned here with just a few instructions read a zillion times I could learn
to cro hook. I learned by reading over and over breaking things down I could
crechenit (spelling is wrong, but I can't think how to spell).  I would like
to try my hand at using the pottery wheel. Things have turned from
discouragement to working hard, I can, smile.

Sorry I'm posting this so late, but the day has just gotten away from me.  

 

Linda's question about the client with one hand has really made me stop and
think.  I can't imagine not being able to do something with my hands.  I
tend to be a little fidgety, so having something to do really helps me.  I
can't imagine how frustrating it must be to want to do things and not be
able to.  She can probably picture crafts and projects in her mind, but
doesn't have a way of executing them.

 

How many of you have ever wanted to participate in a craft, but were unable
to do so because of your disability?

 

If so, what was the craft?

 

What equipment or adaptive techniques do you use to make crafting possible?

 

What new crafts would you like to try, but you're not sure how to make them
accessible?

 

I look forward to this discussion.

 

Nella
