[Nfb-krafters-korner] Touch of Yarn Book?

[ncbootman at gmail.com]

Here is the info. I found a reference on the Lionbrand website and contacted 
the author. Here is what he said!

Good afternoon, Greg,

The original book is in a whole lot of alternate formats

large print hard copy
Large print PDF
Regular MS Word
Large Print MS Word
Braille-ready file -- set for reading with a Braille display in either 
32-wide or 40-wide machines
Hard copy Braille either two 8.5 by 11 volumes or one 11 by 11.5 volume

All are $30 payable to

davey2 at brailleplus.net

through PayPal.

If you fire the money off, then send me an email telling me which accessible 
format to send, I'll get it right out.

Yes, I'm working on The Touch of Yarn, Intermediate Edition, not based on 
anyone else's work or strategies.  Unfortunately, work on it has been slowed 
due to many unforeseen life happenings.  So, don't hold your breath on that. 
I'd like to get it out by next fall, but if life doesn't quit happening, 
that may get postponed as well. (smile)

Now, as to you learning, too, I just know this.  My daughter had tried to 
learn with all sorts of books, videos, and lessons, with very poor results 
and high levels of frustration.  I sent her the book in 2009 for editing and 
critiquing.  She got it and has knit seemingly acres of stuff for her kids 
and family members.  I also had an 8-year-old child use it with success. 
She had been referred to me by a professional educator who had said it was 
the best book on knitting she had ever seen.

So, give it a try.

Does anyone know where one can get the touch of yarn book now days, in
an accessible, preferably text or pdf, format? It looks promising but I
can't find it, as the touchofyarn.com website seems to no longer exist.

If not, other ideas would be welcome for learning.

Christy
