[NFB-Krafters-Korner] nautical afghan

Thanks, Yolanda. Marjorie Arnott got me in touch with a person that
generously worked with me on changing colors multiple of times to make a
pattern or picture. She is a fantastic lady. I had a computer problem, and
lost some books I had purchased. She resent them to me even though she
didn't have to do that. I've bought quite a few books, so it was in the
spirit of helping out a good customer as well as her kindness.
Just like our list here, you and people on this list are friendly and
generous.
Bernice

Just be sure to bring up your new color from underneath your old color.
If you want to look up instructions, it is called intarsia knitting.
Good Luck!
