[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friendship Bracelets (was: RE: Kumihimo)

[Becky Frankeberger]

Actually, you can get motors for knitting machines.  You can set the number
of rows and the machine ever so slowly knits while you read Braille.

Becky and her SK 890 and SK 860 knitting machines .

Joyce:

I want a loom or perhaps a knitting machine which attaches to my wrists
while I read Braille.  The only disadvantage to reading Braille is that you
can't do anything else at the same time.

I might think about a class for the pillows, but I want to have time to sit
in on a class to see how they go first.  The entire project would take
several classes, but once students got the hang of it, they should be able
to go on alone.  In the future ....
Susan
