[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crochet book on Bard

[Debra Trevino]

I have never tried these tiny critters because I don't have the patience to use very thin yarns.  Is there any encouragement for me? Maybe a yarn that holds together and doesn't split?

Thanks and blessings,

Deb Trevino

Tracy,
Let us know if you make any of these. I downloaded the audio a year ago, and got stuck because each one begins with the magic ring and I couldn't figure out that stitch. I do know how to do it now, I think, and a braille version will be much easier to follow than audio for me.
Anyway, let us know your progress, please!
Deborah

Sorry Henry, H is a hippo, not a horse.  I was disappointed, too.  But there is a unicorn, and a zebra.
