On another topic, if you know someone who's a beginner with something you're good at, don't tell them "it's EZ".

Yarn crafting has been our non-book discussion of the week with @jessmahler starting to pick up nalbinding and @DesyWhitaker (our newest member) has been getting a handle on #crochet. So far it's been a #sticksandstring week.
