[Nfb-krafters-korner] Matinee Swing Jacket

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Lynda,
 
The knitting needles were the first thing I tried after I went blind.   It 
took about 6 months for me to get determined that now that I had so much 
time  on my hands with nothing to do I wanted to try doing something.  I did 
have  a tough time recovering from the open heart surgery, besides learning 
how to be  blind.
 
The next thing after going out getting a new knitting bag, yarn, needles  
and pattern, besides a small tape recorder and knitting during the day and  
ripping out at night, I decided to pull out my old sewing machine and giving  
that a try.  My Singer Featherweight I had since I was 16 years old and  
that is the faithful  old machine I pulled out and sat down to see if I  could 
use it.

You are  so funny! Cathy!  Yes, I knit all the time. I started knitting as 
a  
small child. After sight loss, it was the first thing I re-taught myself  
to 
do. I still have a long way to go, and now, I do things that are very  
basic 
but nice. There is still a lot of things I cannot do and maybe never  will. 
OK, Yes, it is knitting, encrusted beadworking, and pottery - that  is it! 
No more surprises. lol
