[Nfb-krafters-korner] Length of Life Line - WAS: don't shoot

[River Woman]

I should probably try this - I have tried it a couple of times but it is so 
time consuming for me to get it through all the stitches. My other problem 
is that when I use a circular needle I cannot feel the stitches that are on 
the cable, so I never know for sure if I have dropped a stitch and I cannot 
keep an accurate count. But, I have not knit lace since I lost my vision, so 
I have not had to use a life line - but eventually I want to do it again. 
Right now, I am just thrilled to be knitting on 4 needles again and doing 
the socks - that is a giant step forward for me. If it were not for the help 
I have received from friends here, I know I still would not be able to do 
the socks again!
