Good Morning Rebecca, welcome to the group. Do you like to be called 
Rebecca, or Becky? The reason is that we have a Becky on the list.
My Girlfriend Terry P and I are 2 of several looomers here on the list, and 
we'll be more than happy to help you get back into looming when and if you 
want to.
As for iyoiur question about the Randolph Shepherd Act, and crafting, that 
is a good question. I thought that that only applied to food venders. Check 
with your local NFB chapter, or Blind agency.
You could try to sell your products at craft shows or fairs.
I hope that this bit of information helps you.

Hello,

                My name is Rebecca and I  am legally blind and enjoy
scrapbooking.  Sometime ago I  started loom knitting, put it down because of
other things and am now wanting to get back into it.  I  have a  hat
started, and in time would like to make scarfs, dishcloths and potholders.
In looking at the archived  class topics the pony  bead candle, banners  and
ornaments, and safety  pin beading interest me. I  also have thought loom
weaving would be fun. I  need to take things in little steps.  With the
holidays, I  don't see taking any classes before January.

A  curiosity question, I  am wondering how blind crafters go about selling
their crafts.  I  am thinking  especially how to find outlets  of where to
sell crafts.  Does anyone know if  a  blind crafter can qualify for the Ran
doff Shepard Act?

Thanks!

Rebecca Strite
