[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want to know Wednesday

[D Dyer]

I actually learned to knit twice. First from my aunt when I was a little girl and she used to make dresses for my barbies and then picking it up later as a teenager from my friend Lindsey who was a big part of helping me feel comfortable in Larping spaces.

Weaving I learned from my surrogate mom, it’s something I began to learn at least in part as a reason to be somewhere other than home as a girl of 15 but fell in love with and quilting I was taught by my high priestess back when I had one of those.
