[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Re Flexi Loom Help Needed Please

Fri Dec 18 00:36:59 UTC 2020

Hi Sophie and Gravity,

Eve here.  I know there are treats under the Christmas tree.  I can smell them.  My brother, Ford, can smell them also and he is always getting into trouble by pulling the present from under the tree.  I don't think he will ever learn.

Mom has a meeting with her chapter soon, so I need to let her use the computer.  I heard it is a Christmas party.

XOXOXOxO

Eve

Hi Gravity, your FFriend Sophie here, thanks for the Star Wars Blessing.
My Dad loves Star Trek, so, I'll say "Live Longand Prosper, and, I am and always will be your Friend."
those sayings come from Mr. Spock.
No, don't dribble on Moms keyboard whatever you do. After all of that water, you might have to go you know where pretty soon.
Dad will be taking me there pretty soon too, before he and Mom go to a vertual church meeting with their Churches knitting group, and, then to Mrs. Jeanettes knitting class that I heard that your Mom is going to also.
That is so funny that you like to play tug of war with your Moms yarn.
O k, I gotta go for now.
Take care and talk to you again I hope.

Hi Eve and Sophie, Gravity here. May the force be with you, but don’t let it weigh you down, just let it keep you grounded.
I am a 20 inch tall, 50 pound yellow lab. My dad is black and my mom is yellow like me. Most of my fur is silky soft aside from a course strip right down my back. I hope I get lots of treats for Christmas, but Mom will have to check them first because I’m allergic to lots of things.
Mom tried to get me to wear a crocheted scarf, but I tore it accidentally. I do better with bandanas.
I find it great fun to get a hold of Mom’s yarn and try to use it as a tug toy, but she doesn’t like that. :) Other than that, I am mostly a good dog, but it is boring to have to always stay home.
I’d better go now. I just drank a lot of water and don’t want to drip all over Mom’s keyboard or she’ll be annoyed with me.
Merry Christmas,
Gravity

I get so excited when she changes them.  I have more than mom.  Maybe we will all play together one day.  Wouldn't that be fun?

>>> If I’m only removing one segment, I hold the two pegs on that section between my thumb and pointer fingers. My middle finger is positioned on the side of the segment, and my ring finger cradles the base. If I’m trying to split a long section of the flexee loom in half, for example, then my thumb and pointer would hold the pegs, middle would brace the side, and my ring and pinky would cradle the base.
