[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want to know Wednesday

[Bernice Bird]

One of the few good things the school for the blind did was to teach me how
to knit in fifth grade. Also how to sew. I made a plaid jumper also. My
teacher was kind of mean though. She said I should learn to use the sewing
machine, because I was a big girl and should make my clothes. I wasn't so
big I couldn't find clothes for pity sake. Oh, well, thank God there are
many many crafts to learn and enjoy.

I used to play with American bricks and Lincon Logs.  I liked the American
Bricks, the best!
My mom and Grand Mother got me coloring books, with large pictures, not
detailed, and I tried to color with in the lines!

I made my one and only sewing project in homech class. It was a jumper.  I
am sure I had help from the teacher!
I did get to wair it, I think.  Who knows what ever happened to it!
I can kind of picture the plad design  in my head.  IIt was red and blue
plad.

Somewhere along the line, I learned to make the fringed pillows, I have
tought.  I made one or two for my sisters and a set for the living room,
when I was a kid.
KK has helped me expand my love for crafts!

Ever since I can remember I loved modeling clay, play dough, American
bricks, lacing cards, and all things creative. When I was in first grade, I
would make paper art by cutting slits in paper and putting it together after
cutting out the shapes I wanted. I did that because I hated glue. I also
would take a black crayon and make big swirls all over the page, and then
color in the white spaces with different colors. It ended up looking kind of
like stain glass.

In school, I made a pop sickle pencil holder and my mom kept it on her desk
at work.
At least she said she did!
My mom tought me to just knit and I made 2 of my sisters, doll blankets and
an afghan.  No, I did not put it together!
When I came to KK, I knew only how to knit and maybe to purl, but now look
at what I have learned.  Circular needles were not even in my vocabulary!!!
I sure love them, now!

What was the first craft you learned? I think mine was stitching. My Grandma
had me use a styrofoam tray like meat comes on, use a big plastic needle and
yarn and see what I could make. I think my Mom helped me make salt and flour
dough.
