[Nfb-krafters-korner] Blind Photographers, Digital Cameras and Knifty Knitter

[Karen]

Hi, Does anyone have information about purchasing an easy-to-use digital 
camera? Is it possible to complete basic tasks such as selecting the needed 
image format and quality, manipulating the photo size and determining if the 
picture is oriented correctly? An article was posted here recently about a 
blind photographer and it got me thinking about the equipment he might be 
using. I'm interested in discovering the most affordable and accessible 
options.

Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my question about the paper 
cutter. I found one that has a blade that cuts on the edge which allows me 
to fold the paper where I need a cut, line it up and mark the cutter with 
dymo tape. It has a finger guard and is working out well.

To everyone who has helped me with the Knifty Knitter, I am almost finished 
with my first skein. I have made four baby washcloths. They are not perfect 
but after several startup disasters and completely unraveling two that were 
nearly finished, they are usable. It is amazing how easily all that work 
will unravel. It's all part of the learning process I guess.

My aunt just sent me a big box of yarn saying my grandmother would be 
thrilled I was taking up knitting and would want me to have it. I gather she 
has quite a supply of yarn she and my grandmother have bought over the 
years. This may be the motivation I need to attempt a larger project. The e 
stitch I can do now but I would like to learn the knit and pearl.

Hope everyone had a good weekend,

Karen
