[Nfb-krafters-korner] easy sock pattern?

[River Woman]

Though I have been a knitter for about 60 years, doing it non-visuaolly is 
an enormous challenge for me. I have a very hard time even when doing double 
yarn overs. Right now, I am working on a shawl that has them every 6th row - 
and I have quite a few that I have lost and did not know it till it was too 
late to work them in - so, on this shawl, when I am finished, I will put 
some nice crystal beads here and there, beginning with all the places where 
I have lost stitches. I have tied them with a strand of yarn, and so I know 
where they are - when the shawl is done with the knitting part, I will put 
some crystals and pearsl here and there all over the shawl. I hope this will 
be a nice detail - but it has certainly grown out of my inability to FIX 
mistakes. Most mistakes, I cannot fix myself - even afer four years of 
working my butt offf to re-learn how to knit again. Fortunately, I have a 
very good friend who responds to me calls for "Knitting Emergency" help. I 
do not, and never will have that sense of touch that a long time blind 
person has had since childhood. My brain is still VISUAL, and I imagine it 
will always be that way. I am still a visual learner regardless of the fact 
I cannot see what I am knitting.

I understand all things visually, not through touch. Trying to FIX my 
knitting boo boos through touch is not working very well at all. I can do it 
somewhat, but not well.
