[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Introduction

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

It is free in most places!
When you dile, it says, free conference call.com

One of our members has had trouble with one or two of their lines, being charged, in Canida, but it was not the main one!
I do not know which line it was.  It was one we used for a class.
If this happens, someone can call you and do a three way call, for you.
Dixie might know which lines, they were.
Terry

     Sonya, I believe the call number is a regular long distance call from the US.  Don't know what the charge is from Canada.

With regard to 8 ply yarn, it would be hard to find.  If you have any experience with your hands, you should not have any problems starting with four-ply yarn.  Using a size 8 or 9 needle, you will be able to feel everything just fine.  I have not read that book, but if he starts you casting on with 20 stitches which would not be surprising, you might find that that the four-ply acrylic or cotton is easier to handle.  It fits many women's hands better than the heavier yarns.  A beginning knitter is likely to pull the stitches too tight, and that is even harder on your hands.


You may find that others here have different opinions, so don't be afraid to experiment. We're glad to have you among us.  There are quite a few experienced knitters here.   Best,

Ramona
