[Nfb-krafters-korner] lion brand news letter

[Blindhands at aol.com]

OK, folks now this is a good reason why NFB Krafters Division was started,  
not just for fun.
 
I did not know about these other newsletters and the trouble managing  them.
 
I had written a letter to Knit Picks regarding their newsletter and asked  
if they could label things more with words.  I don't know if it got their  
attention, but surprise, surprise they did change it and it is more helpful 
to  know what is there.
 
Please take the time to send a comment to these places and explain the  
difficulty we are having with screenreaders and their newsletters or  websites.

Oh  Terry,in this case I just want to hug you.  My favorite newsletter  and
web site was Red Heart. Now the links in the newsletter do not work  they
moved everything around on the web site, grown.  So I use Lion  Brand and
they are now or have been moving things around, but they at least  keep us
blind in mind.  Annie's addict was another site I enjoyed even  though it 
was
far harder to navigate then red Heart or Lion Brand.  So  we just keep
adjusting to the web sites updates, screen reader updates,  Windows 7,
Windows 8, and figure it out.  Some here can offer tips  when we figure it
out, that is, while some of us just move on to more  friendly sites, soft
smile.  Stitch Deva is also a good site but  crappy newsletter, for this
little lady's equipment anyway.   Yarn-store is a grand site and decent
newsletter.  For the sites I  love, I am bull dogged on figuring the site
out.

Warm  hugs,

Becky and Jake

Why should I have  to.  I am trying to read the links from the news letter.
I never had  to, before!
