[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello, new here

[Melanie]

Hi Henry, I don't have a specific pattern I just sort of wing it most of
the time. I started out by watching a few youtube videos and just went from
there. They are so fun to make. I want to do a jumbo dream catcher using a
hula hoop and worsted weight yarn!
