[Nfb-krafters-korner] New Upcoming class

Tue Feb 23 21:15:12 UTC 2016

Terry P,
I’m working on patience is a virtue; this is a life long goal.  Character by character reading could set me back a few decades!  LOL
I’m not a braille reader.  I’m too old  and it’s not on my bucket list either.

Re-writing the pattern in ‘real words’ rather than abbreviations helps me.  I had to do this with the loom patterns as well; cast on = co and knit off = ko, sound the same. 
Thanks for your thoughts, we all have to find ways that work best for ourselves. 😉

>>> Terry K, I would be interested in this class in an email form. I sometimes get baffled by the stars & bracketts.  And it is not helpful that my screen reader ignores these symbols.  I usually re-write the pattern to help identify these symbols.  Perhaps there is another way to deal successfully with beyond easy patterns. My other hick-up is front post and back post - no idea of where it is or what to do with it. I am familiar with the basic stitches and have made many afghans in repeating patterns like ripple or shell.  I would like to do sweaters or ponchos.  Lion brand is doing a crochet along of a poncho.  It is a free pattern and it sounds really cool. At this point, Iâ€™m still trying to make sense of the pattern.  It would cost a fair bit for the material, so my understanding of the pattern should come first. Sorry for babbling on.
