[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitting Needle question

[Shelbi Hindel]

This is what I would do because I am an avid Braille reader. I do not have a pen friend. I was thinking of a way to use pen friend for this since Henry mentioned already using it for the other system he is using.

The idea that I have is similar to Shelbi's, but instead of using an index card, I would braille the size of the needle on a braille label and then wrap it in half around a ponytail holder, then using the holder to keep the needles together. When I was trying my hand at needle knitting, this is how I distinguished my needles. I used the bigger braille labels that came on sheets of about 20 that you can peel off, but I think dimo tape would work as well.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
