[Nfb-krafters-korner] answer for Naima

Sat Sep 3 01:20:26 UTC 2016

I also think your family members gave you some bad information or miss information when they say it is easier for sighted people to knit and crochet then it is for blind people. We use different techniques but we can still do it. It is very relaxing. I have learned many new crafts through this group. You just have to believe in your self.
