Hi again..I have a question.. Does anyone in here knit that is blind or isvissually impaired?? I recall that someone told me when I joined, thatthere is someone that is blind.. Well, I am trying to find a place thatwill do my patterns in braille. I sent some paterns to the BrailleInstitute.. They did not get my email and I have to try again to sendit tomorrow.. I had hoped that someone was to be done and I could get aquote as the cost of my patterns I found on the net that are easy forme to try out..Anyway, If anyone has any ideas as to where I can go and getting thembrailled, I will gladdly appraiciate any help you can give me..I find lots of things on several sites, but a lot of them have to bewritten out since there are so many steps for them..I have a couple of tank patterns I wan to try out and make for myselfto wear for the well rest o the summer.. But, who knows how long itwill be before that happens..Plus so other things I found that look easy to start before I am readyfor the more advanced technique in knitting..Thanks so much..Portia/California

Very sorry for doing that by classifying this topic as Off topic.. I didn't know how to title it.. And, I wasn't sure if there was someone that was blind in here as well.. My mistake...

As mentioned in another post, there's only one very simple stitch to learn, so that part went pretty quickly. Took a few years before I found someone to tell me what I was doing wrong. If I'd had a live teacher, instead of books, I could have learned everything in an hour.

Does not matter if we are blind. There is a long an full tradition of knitting in the dark. Long ago in bed to stay warm and save candles, more recently in movie theaters. I knit while my wife watches DVDs.

Suppose we read a bunch of patterns aloud and recorded them in MP3 format, so they could be stepped through as you work. Would a library of patterns that had been read aloud be useful?
