[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Knitting lace patterns

[ms.sunmsflower61@gmail.com]

You could even use different things as markers.  Twist ties, pipe cleaners, safety pins, etc.  Unfortunately, all of my markers are the same type.  

I like the idea of Brailling out the pattern.

Thanks!

I also enjoy lace pattern knitting and crochet. And I wanted to add that in addition to using lots of stitch markers I will sometimes use different styles of stitch markers to indicate where in a pattern I am. Or where I may have made a mistake if I’ve made one. I generally Braille my patterns onto large index cards and then make a small pattern book with each step having its own card. That way I can just flip to where I am.
