[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 1/24/18

[Terry Powers]

Plastic canvas is done on a plastic grid.  The grid is measured in inches.
To determine what size of canvas you are using, you have a number and the
word count.  This means 7 count canvas has 7 squares, per inch.  16 count
canvas, has 16 squares, per inch, making the holes much smaller and a lot
harder for a blind person to work with.
10 count canvas is used most often.  
I have found worsted weight yearn to work fine and if I want to use thinner
yarn, using a double strand, can be done.  Cord can also be used to give the
project tecture.
Accessories used with plastic canvas can be, lanyard hooks, key rings, lace,
yarn, cord, sizzors and a size 16 or 18 metal tapestry needle.  
It is a craft that you can be creative with.  You can write words, make doll
furnature, make ornaments, cleanex boxes and much, much more.

Happy Wednesday to all of you crafters out there.

 

I want to Thank Becky for doing such a fine job of playing my part last
week.  I'm sure she could play me on T.V. lol

 

My day has been a little hectic, so I'm getting this out a bit late.

 

Here is another question from Amy.

 

Each craft, whether it be woodworking or knitting, has its own unique
history.  What interesting trivia or factoids do you know about the crafts
that you do?

 

What is some of the terminology used in your craft?

 

Now pay attention to everyone's responses because I might use some of them
next Monday when we have craft trivia.

 

As usual I'm looking forward to reading and learning.

 

Nella
