I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I think we all need to contact the
website and let her know that there are other blind people out here using
her patterns and enjoying them. I received a good response the second time I
asked and at that time I asked for particular patterns to be put into
words.
She has such a collection of patterns I would love if they were all
accessuible to us blind folks.
The fact is that she actually gives the first two safety pins in words on
each of her patterns she has on the website.
We just need to get her to put the rest of it in words for us.

Hi again, Joyce,
I was only talking about the patterns that Sherry Osborne has made
accessible for us and that she offers free from her site. I thought that
if
there could be a list of the ones that are already described, list members
can search for the patterns on her site or I could ask her if I may link
to
those patterns from my site.
Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was not talking about any
patterns
that are used in classes.
With kind regards.
Lindy
