While plenty of people take pictures of their projects, especially
people active on social media, the talk was specifically for test
knitters. I missed that one.<br>
<br>
A test knitter forms a contract with the designer. The designer
specifies what they need from the test knitter. If they want
pictures from you, that will be specified before you ever receive
the pattern. They will also tell you if they need specific pictures.
There are ways for a blind person to take pictures. However, if you
are contracted to provide specific pictures and you know that you
are not skilled at taking pictures, then you would need to get
someone to take those pictures for you. When I say you are
contracted as a test knitter, this does not necessarily mean you are
paid. It varies with the designer on what they can provide but the
key is that the contract is an agreement between you and the
designer and what you will provide to them.<br>

to the talk about test knitting on the Happy Knitting Summit

people take pictures of their projects and post them
somewhere? Is it easier than I think, with no vision? Is
it really required for test knitters to not only take
pictures of the test project, but other projects as well? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

a good way to let people know there are blind knitters and
