HI Dotty,
Hmmm, a potters wheel isn't something I considered at all actually...
I've only ever used the electric ones and I can't imagine those are
cheap, definitely something to look in to. I will have to craft by touch
as I don't have enough vision left to see anything useful like stitches
or the like. I can see colors still, but only the brightest ones and
only in good lighting; most of them blend together and wind up looking
either white or black to me.
The more suggestions I read, the more I'm thinking something like
crochet or knitting may be the way to go. It's a very good thing google
is my friend since at this point, I'm not even 100% sure what the
difference between the two are, lol.
Thanks again,
Sarah
