[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn Colors and other stuff you're "dyeing" to know

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I sure would!  I have talked to Henry and I think, Cathy about a class in creating a lap blanket or afcan.  I mean, how does a blind person decide what colors go together and what would look best  next to each other.   It would make a nice chat or maybe a nice e-mail class.

hi Sarah and all,

I am looking forward to this class.

Meanwhile, it has reminded me of a project I took on a number of years ago.
I had decided that I wanted to understand about colors, what their names were, what colors would look good together and to be able to communicate with sighted folks when purchasing clothing or yarn or whatever. I still have the notes from that research. I thought there might be some interest in this and if so, I would be happy to teach a class and share what I know. I bet others can also share things they have learned about colors as well.
this might be a nice class for email, so we can all save the information for future use. I know for example, that even though I just read my color chart, I already have forgotten what the color citron looks like. how nice to have a file I can refer back to. How nice to know what colors might look nice if I wanted to make a blanket including the color citron.  How nice to be able to go to the store and or talk to some one when ordering by phone and know what I'm talking about. 
Would anyone be interested in this?  
Cathy
