I think I have finally mastered the basics of crochet. That is the slipknot, putting the holes on I mean, starting chain and crocheting the next chain. I know I’m not perfect for sure, but I made a pot holder that I could actually give to somebody. it only took me… A years to feel that confident?! Basketball tournament I don’t do it the way they show you’re supposed to do it in the beginning, but maybe it’s because I’m not good enough or I’m not good coronation, but as my friend said yesterday “you do it like your knitting.“ Well, as long as the loops go over another loop what is the difference? I’m kind of picking those loops up and pulling them over rather than that smooth motion of wrap and pull through at the same time. Just not coordinated. Maybe someday. Thought I would pass some good news on since I saw Berniece’s encouraging message. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ericka Nelson</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> On Mar 8, 2023, at 11:35 AM, Bernice Bird via NFB-Krafters-Korner <nfb-krafters-korner@nfbnet.org> wrote:</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> Give yourself a break.
