[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Reading patterns as blind or visually impaired crafter

[Tracy Carcione]

NLS has quite a few books with patterns.  And, as Tammy says, so does the blind Bookstop.
Some of the NLS books have charts, but most don't.  Some, very annoyingly, say there is a chart, then don't translate it, which makes the pattern useless.
There is also a new braille knitting magazine, Interweave.  I downloaded it to my notetaker.  Henry says it has a lot of hardcopy volumes.

Hi Tracy, 
I'm just curious, where did you find hard copy braille books of knitting patterns? I've gotten all my patterns off the internet so far, but I'd love to read through a hardcopy book of patterns. Also, do the books include charts for the patterns? 
Thanks,
Sarah
