[Nfb-krafters-korner] shipping

I used the links you sent for the different kinds of yarn and it kept taking me to their facebook page, I think.  The yarn should have been at the bottom of the page.  
I finally found woolies after about 20 minites, but never got into thick and quick.
I tried many different links in the site.
What link takes you directly to the yarn.

I had a lot more success with Jo ann's, but there are no descriptions of the yarn and the pictures are tiny.  Jill pulled up the class notes when we discussed Home town, for me.
Still would like to be able to see it like on lion brand.

Typing quickly.  Leaving for the dr.

Lion Brand is pretty responsive to us. So tell them through an email and call them of your problems navigating the site. Me, I totally cheat and use google and that gives me the exact link for a brand of yarn I am looking for. But mainly I use the site to look at the free patterns and get ideas.  
Now patterns are a bit of a bear to find the exact one. I was looking at a baby blanket pattern and wanted to see how it was made. So I clicked on the link. Hit H to find the description. Then further down it gives the color combinations. Below that is the pattern in detail. So why the junk in-between the description of the pattern and the actual stitches, I don't know but do not like the change. So all fingers pointing at myself for not telling them I don't like this change and why with my screen reader, I can't get to the stitches easily. If they had a heading or something like that to mark out the sections of yarn colors, and another for the actual stitches, this would be so much better. 

There is also a company to refer them to that evaluates web sites for screen readers and it is run by the blind with quite a wonderful reputation of working with National, businesses, state, county web sites. That evaluating company is:

www.myblindspot.org

 They were just in the newspaper for helping to fix a county in New York and bringing that county site up to code. This company also evaluated a State run site here in WA. So Lion Brand could really use help from My Blind Spot.
So you can give them a tool to help them evaluate then fix their site.

Becky with her foggy brain, sorry

Terry P.,

Some sites are definitely more challenging than other.

I am finding Jo ann's site to be easier to navigate!  I bought the white for the football, over the weekend and just went on the site and ordered the brown, on sale, with a $3 shipping!

Maybe I will get good at ordering from sites, thanks to my mentor, Jill!
