[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Successful Saturday

[Ericka]

Well, it didn’t turn out too bad even though I kind of free net it. Actually, I guess this one I crocheted, which is I suppose equal to loom knitting, but probably would’ve looked better. Yes, I mean to call you guys and nothing ever seems to happen. it would probably serve better as a chew toy for Sophie but I think it’s OK. I’m just looking for a child because it won’t fit on my head. Maybe I will give it to my grandpa. He’s always cold anyhow. I was basically just practicing crochet and the square did not turn out to be a square head bulges so  I ended up attempting a hat. 

I never knew anything about Ham Radio till I started dating my husband. C beers we’re just kind of wacky I thought. Calling to the rubber duck and stuff. But I can see the front of it for truck drivers. Especially long haulers.

If you guys are around next Saturday, perhaps we can connect and talk looms. I do have a friend who doesn’t know how to use the circular looms for hats, but one of these days she’s going to come over and show me how to use the loom, she uses to make scarves. Yes, the rectangular one.

Give Sophie some Lovin from us.

His mom was thrilled and can’t wait to give it to him. I’m trying to figure out on my own how to make a hat. let’s just say I wouldn’t give it away, but it’s not ugly enough that I couldn’t wear it. So I can’t quite pull that it success… Yet

> The two are really connected in my second success. First, I am a ham, radio operator and pretty much a newbie. Talking on nuts to local folks is one thing. But the protocol and what happens when you talk. Internationally is a little different. Some people want to just swap where you are what kind of equipm Equipment you’re communicating with and the weather conditions. Others just want to yak. But yesterday I got brave and I talk to a couple of people internationally through digital mode repeater. I talk to a guy in Kuwait and a guy in east coast, England. It was pretty scary, but needle at the same time.  The other is that if you are a ham, radio operator, many blind folks are aware of Happ, HOLL Y, and his R a I N (radio amateur information net work) to see report. Well I got interviewed and it’s posted today on the podcast place of your choice.  That was probably more scary and someways. I’m not used to being interviewed. But happens so funny and we had a yeahc session which he recorded. Then we were more comfortable to each other and he sent me a list of questions which I thought about, and he re-interviewed me. Turned out pretty good though I think the  Guy who does the intro and exit could have changed things just a tad. I was speaking about how I could see the potential for getting kids interested in science as well as getting homebound and seniors in assisted, living centers, able to connect with the real world again. But I’ve said too much.
