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

Sat Mar 2 15:30:08 UTC 2013

Lynda, with your drive and determination, you're going to do that again if it is your wish.  If you make up your mind to do something, the world better watch out because it will get done.  *smile*  I don't say that to too many people, but when I grow up, if I grow up, I want to be like you.  *smile*

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!
