Hi, everyone!

Brrr, it’s cold here in CT! Turned heat on for the first time today, though expect to be able to shut it off again Tues., when we’re back around 60! Not ready for winter yet...

Speaking of which: I have some luscious pink yarn I’d like to use for a planned Christmas gift to my sister-in-law. It’s about double the thickness of regular worsted, though not the thickness or wooliness of a cashmeerish yarn—and I hope I have enough. Wouldn’t that feel nice as a lap project during our chilly autumn days! I want to do one of those combo neck-scarf/hats that you tie on with the scarf ties, and I want to do something with a small shell stitch, but not open-work, since winters here can be brutal, and closed work would be more appropriate. Anyone have ideas/patterns?

Speaking of patterns: are there Braille beading patterns, and if so, any sources of free patterns?

Finally, I just registered for the NFB of CT convention. Anyone else going? Would love to meet you.
