[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Ramona Technology was RE: Announcement for sweater class.

Tue Oct 25 17:12:33 UTC 2016

I am learning the BrailleNote touch. It wasn't on my budget, but my desktop died, and it never worked very well. So I bit the bullet and got this. I think there are still some things that need to be worked out to make it do what they and I want it to do. But I am still learning also. And I really won't get to the internet stuff until I get back from my cruise that starts next week. I was working with a humanware person yesterday, and we could not make it connect to the website on an email link. That will not lead to customer satisfaction, so I really think it will get attention, but not today. And that is just the beginning. Thanks for the offer.
Ramona

I just got a U2 mini in December of last year (had to send it in for an issue) and have really been learning it since around April or May. Don't know if I can be of any help, this year has been a bear with learning several different things at the same time.

But then I could do a separate class on picking up stitches for neck ribbing or just picking up stitches. I have to wait until I learn to do online stuff with my new device to put my January classes up on website. Then I will get to February. If you have time, take Joyce's class on the baby sweater. She might have some techniques that make buttonholes easy. I'm hoping! Isn't learning from each other what this is all about? Ramona
