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

Well this type of class will give you some information to go by.  If  you 
can't see anything you can get help from a friend or sales clerk.  It  is 
tough going to a department store or Wal Mart instead of a yarn shop the  price 
is cheaper, but there isn't folks there to help you out.  It comes  down 
to, you canb tell someone you want a earthy tone yarn in blues, browns and  
greens, but it may not match with what you have pictured in your mind what 
they  pick out for you.

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
