[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Finding a pattern on Ravelry

[Tracy Carcione]

Ravelry is a pretty busy website, but it's quite accessible.  I also have
a free app called Alpaca that has Ravelry data, and is easy to use.  My
problem with Ravelry is that a lot of people figure a picture is worth a
thousand words, and don't give much description.  If the pattern's free, I
can get it and do my best to imagine what it looks like.  Or I can try to
round up a sighted person to look at it.  If it costs, I'm definitely
hunting up someone to look at it beforehand.
