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

[Tracy Carcione]

I write multiple rows on a card, and use a paperclip to mark the row.  
I too use an abacus to count rows.  What's an abacus bracelet?

Jess,

I use 3x5, 4x6 and 5/7 index cards.  It depends on the complexity of each
row, or the pattern overall.  If the pattern is simple and I can easily read
my stitches to determine which row I left off on, then I will use a bigger
card and put multiple rows on a card.  If the row is complex, then I will
only put one row per card.  I like punching a hole in the upper right corner
of the cards to hold them together with a loop of yarn or a binder ring.  I
move a paper clip from card to card to indicate which row I am working on or
just finished.  

If I have the entire pattern written out on a single sheet of paper or index
card, or have multiple rows on a card, then I use either my abacus or abacus
bracelet to keep track of rows.

HTH,
Annette
