[Nfb-krafters-korner] beginner knitting, progress and a stitch pattern

[sunshine]

I would like to learn how to use looms. I think I did a potholger when I was young, but didn't remember in our class sessions! It's old age. Anyway, where do I buy looms and are there any braille books for beginner loomers! 

Hugs
