Terry,

Did you get the NFB dog scarf that I sent to Tammy?

That is of the logo of NFB.  I know it isn't large, but you can feel the shape.  The part that represents the with 6 cane users are paired up as 2 which divides the it into 3 parts.  Now I was able to find the variegated  thread the first one 11 oclock& 10 position is in yellows 					 going to orange the next 2 nes going counterwise variegated thread  ranges in color from medium green going to a dark green[forest green].  The last 2 which is located in the 5 to 2 oclock area are shades of blues.

I had heard this was available last year and they were done in solid orange, solid green &  solid blue

The National Federation was done in black.  The Of the blind was done a bit smaller and done in blue.

I have been asked if I could enlarge this design, but I said I couldn't do it until after the holidays.    I am busy creating creating Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving & Christmas scarves.  

Joyce

Terri, I'm sure a knitted version could be made if you got the design. I understand that the colors sort of fade into one another, so it might be sort of delicate to figure out exactly how to do the new logo. Plastic canvas would make good cane holders or slate and stylus holders. You are good at making plastic canvas look neat. I think the best way to get the design to work would be for someone who has good color perception to take a photograph, maybe even enlarge it. Not my bag, but I'm sure it could be done. Ramona
