[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about offerings from Horizons

[Catherine jacobse]

Jean,
Bookshare is available through cnib, they’ve done some kind of mass membership for all clients.   I’ve had good fortune with crochet books; not for loom knitting.  But as you noted there could be restrictions to non US.  I will log out and try another    search to see what might be missing. 
Thanks,
Catherine

Someone on another craft list, or perhaps I saw it on a blog somewhere, recommended some loom knitting books from Bookshare. If you do a search without logging in, you will see them, but once you log in, many titles disappear and are not available. I have also come across titles that I want, and when I attempt to get the book, I'm told it is not available in my region.

>> I have downloaded a number of crochet books from bookshare.  Some are more blind friendly than others; it all depends on quality of written instructions versus relying on  illustrations. see diagram below - ya sure.
