[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Labeling squares

Wed Apr 21 17:35:01 UTC 2021

Hi, 
I'm still "old school." I make braille labels, small ones, and safety-pin them to the piece. Then, later, I can take those out. If I don't remember what all colors are in a larger piece, I can braille the list and put it with my other crocheting info, such as patterns.

Yes, I can feel the bumps and not-bumps.
I will probably use braille labels, but I still think it would be cool to have a label knit right into the square, for when my old brain forgets, some day when I'm admiring my blanket.
Maybe I'll take some scrap yarn and do an experiment, just for fun.

I agree with Renae.
Tracy, can you feel the differences between the Knit and Purl stitches if that is what you mean?

I think just labeling on a little card and fastening them to the Square would be easiest for me anyway.
