Hi Sandra, what would I put in the search field for the group that you 
mentioned?
Thanks.

My mom just, a week and a half ago, turned me on to the Knitters Paradise 
forum. Everything was easily navigable (though sometimes, of course, not the 
items you get referred to—but that would be hard to control for), and they 
welcomed me with open arms; several even had relatives who are blind 
crafters. They welcome my input, too, and have the same “can-do” attitude I 
have toward my trying new things. The welcome messages must have been 
pouring in for like 3 days—it was wonderfully warm. I can’t provide the link 
at this moment, due to a quirky internet problem, but you can easily find 
it.

KK was my first online group—I think I joined 3-4 years ago. Before that, 
when I was still part of our local community center of the blind, I was in 
their craft group for years; then, after the craft dir. left, the group 
disbanded, and no new crafters came in, so they got rid of all their craft 
stuff; for a variety of other reasons not worth mentioning, I have since 
left that center, but the group was really fun, for as long as it lasted. I 
also used to belong to a library craft group, ‘til I got my last job and 
scheduling wouldn’t permit; then, when I lost that job, and tried to get 
back in, there wasn’t transportation. So, actual face-to-face groups have 
been a real mixed bag for me.

I never started a group, but did try to teach beginner crochet for a women’s 
retreat, but found it wasn’t a great fit, so usually don’t respond when 
teaching opps arise—let others pick up that slack.
