Intarsia again.

I have some knitted directions that are pictures that I bought from Blind 
Mice. I just don't know how to change the colors so not to leave a whole. I 
know you wind the different colors onto flat spools. There would be enough 
room on the flat part to put a couple of braille letters to denote each 
color.

This brings back memories.  When my baby was a little girl I knitted her 
sweaters with bunnies, one that had apple trees and apples with clouds, etc. 
My baby is 40 now and if I thought about it I probably could still switch 
colors and carry the other color behind, but that goes back to when I could 
see.  It would take some thinking out and how to organize the different 
colors and yes, how to get those picture diagrams # of stitches in what 
color in a format I could listen and work.

I loved doing that in the past.

I wish there was a better way.... I wonder... what if you put a sliding 
stitch marker on one color? So then you knew what color it was?
