A lot of us use Lion Brand website for patterns and descriptions of  yarns. 
 You need to sign up to use the website in order to get patterns on  Lion 
Brand.  Is this where you are having trouble with the capta?  I  have been a 
member over there for a long time so I don't remember if I  originally had 
to do the capta or not.

Anyway, where do I buy  looms and are there any braille books for beginner 
loomers!
