[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Slate holder

Sat Aug 10 14:58:06 UTC 2019

Terri, I'm sure a knitted version could be made if you got the design. I understand that the colors sort of fade into one another, so it might be sort of delicate to figure out exactly how to do the new logo. Plastic canvas would make good cane holders or slate and stylus holders. You are good at making plastic canvas look neat. I think the best way to get the design to work would be for someone who has good color perception to take a photograph, maybe even enlarge it. Not my bag, but I'm sure it could be done.
