[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Fwd: accessible kumihimo patterns!

[Vickie]

Hi,
What is kumimimo (probably misspelled that big time). I was trying to remember the spelling. Anyhow, I've never heard of it. Thanks.

>> Hi all,

>> As you may remember I have taught a few kumihimo classes. I had learned that there were actual patterns one could make such as flowers and animals and so forth. But I could not see the pictures I needed to teach these kinds of classes. That is, until now!

>> Well, I found some nice free kumihimo patterns. However, they were all images. So, I wrote to the designer and expressed my interest in her patterns and explained that as A blind person I could not make the patterns because I could not see where to place the colored cords on the kumiloom. The woman named Alison Murray was enthusiastic to help me and soon sent me the picture in words, describing where to place the different colored strands on the kumiloom.

>> As you know it is so wonderful when some one takes an interest in helping the blind and visually impaired to make their patterns accessible.
>> 
>> I have thanked her myself of course.
>> 
>> If you are interested in further encouraging Alison, you may wish to go to her site and see the many patterns she offers, and perhaps contact her and see if she might be willing to make more of her patterns available in text format for us on her site.
