Neat! 
I've made 2 picture blankets so far.  I really like them.  On the first, for
myself, I knit in 2 or 3 braille letters into the border of the picture,
enough so I could remember what the picture was, if it wasn't clear.  I just
purled a stitch instead of knitting.  I wrote con sign ch sign for the conch
shell, and cl for the clam--like that.
On the other, for my sister, I stacked up the finished squares and put a bit
of braille card on top of each, saying what it was.  I also wrote down the
colors of each, so I could arrange them when all the squares were done.

I hope you will tell us your colors and squares when you're done.
Tracy

My senior brain is having trouble remembering who taught the nautical
afghan. I was thinking it was Sarah C, but now I think it was Yolanda. I was
wondering if there was a place to view pictures of the finished squares,
since my friend was having a little trouble identifying some of the
pictures. If I were to do an afghan like this again, I would make the
background one color and the picture a second color. My friend says I have 2
palm trees. 

I also found that the medium blue yarn I used must have been a bit thinner,
even though it said 4 ply, and had the same number. I am going to have to
pick up stitches on the 4 edges and make it a little bigger. I so hate, like
most people to pull anything out that I have finished. 

I always ask Alexa what color things are supposed to be, and she says that a
clam can be almost any color. Mine will be either purple or orange.
