Welcome and an email just prior to yours is basically about a wonderful  
book written by a blind gentleman on knitting.  The name of the book is "A  
touch of Yarn"  and if you do a search thru our archived emails you will  find 
the website.  There is a large sale going on for this book in Braille,  but 
you can get it in several forms including large print and downloadable doc  
file and Braille file.

Hello  NFB Krafters,

I have heard about this list for a long time, but finally  decided to look 
it 
up and give it a try. I am a Federationist from  Louisville Kentucky. I am 
married with an eleven year old daughter, Megan,  and a three and a half 
year 
old son, Peyton. I'm currently a stay at home  mother and I have a small 
home 
based business with Shaklee. In the fall I  will be going back to school to 
get my master's degree in social work. I  absolutely love crafting. I've 
dabbled in crocheting (the only finished  project I've made is a continuous 
granny square blanket for my son when he  was born.) I've also done some 
knitting on looms (mostly scarves, hats,  baby booties, and mittens), but 
I'd 
really like to learn to knit with  needles. I also really enjoy various 
other 
types of crafting - decoupage,  wreath making, children's crafts... I just 
love to try them all! Perhaps  my favorite thing to do is listen to a good 
book while I'm working on a  granny square - talk about peaceful!

I'd really like to get to know and  learn from you all. I'd also like to 
contribute in any way that I can. Can  anyone point me to some very basic, 
nonvisual knitting instructions?  Thanks in advance for your  responses!

Melanie
