[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 3/14/18

[Becky Frankeberger]

My mom needed something to dry her stockings on. Well hey this little kid
took rope and started crocheting a mat to fit on wire I twisted. She saw
what I was doing and stopped with a "never mind," meaning she didn't like
what I was doing. I took my dad's wire and began crocheting with it. The
wire was really hard to twist even. I got a "never mind" on that one also,
grump. I took real wire you use for jewelry and made a chain and added two
large beads. I thought it would make a cute hair due dad for a pony tail. I
keep forgetting I have it, so never tried to use it. I have such baby fine
hair everything falls out.

Hello to all you wonderful crafters out there.

 

Sorry I’m a day late with this; I got caught up with some things here at the
farm and forgot all about it.  So, I guess late is better than never. Lol

 

Today’s question comes from Amy, who is a wealth of good questions.

 

What types of materials have you used to make innovative knitting (or

crocheting) projects in the past and what would you like to try out?

 

I love this question because I like using different materials on my knitting
looms.  I made a very nice hair scrunchy using satin cording.  Then I made a
little draw string bag using macramé.  It was rather hard to work with; I
broke every finger nail and a loom in the process.  I’m currently working on
a shopping bag using twine; it has no stretch, so I have to remember to keep
my knitting loose.

 

I look forward to reading about everyone’s adventures with unusual
materials.

 

Happy crafting.

 

Nella
