Terri,
Welcome! It is so nice to have new folks find us! I wish you the best on
your college path! It seems like college students have access to so much
more than I did when I went to college.
Now about that crocheting, I am Tammy Freitag, the crochet teacher. Smile!
It is your lucky day! We have class tomorrow evening. Just follow Tracy's
instructions and we can get this party started. Hahaha! All you will need
is yarn, a crochet hook, scissors and a telephone. We will just start at
the beginning and have fun learning. Oh, by the way, I am blind and have
crocheted for years. There are several others that crochet, so go sign up
and let's get started!
Have a super day!
Tammy

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] My intro, and, wanting to learn to crochet
Hello everyone,
My name is Terri, and I just recently joined this list. I didn't even know
it existed, in all honesty.
However, I did a Google search, and happened to find it. I am sure happy I
did.
Here is just a little about myself, so you all can kind of get to know
me, and what my reasons are for wanting to be here.
I am 47, and I live in Missouri. I am totally blind, and have been since
birth.
I live with my boyfriend, and my sweet, and loving senior cat, Kiki. I
absolutely adore her! She is actually next to me as I write this.
I am currently in college, trying to decide which career path I am going
to go down. I am currently in my first semester at a local community
college. I never in a million years thought I would try to go to college
again. Especially at my age. But also, because the first time was not
the best experience.
I was considering getting my degree in social work. But I am now
rethinking that decision for a number of reasons.
I am also learning how to play both the ukulele, and the piano. I am
loving learning both of them. It is a very slow process for me, though.
I take lessons at a local music store near my house, once a week. Then I
practice on my own, at least five days a week.
I have quite a bit going on. I love it all, and really feel I am very
lucky to be getting to do all of this. As if I am not busy enough, I
really would like to throw one more thing into the mix. LOL!
I am wanting to learn how to crochet. I have absolutely know idea even
where to start with it. I really have no experience with sewing, or
anything like that.
When I was in my teens, and in my early twenties, I did attempt to learn
how to thread a needle, and sew on a button.
However, I just couldn't ever seem to get the hang of it. So I
unfortunately didn't stick with it.
I am concerned about trying to remember the different patterns, and
motions I might need to make with my hands. I can get things like this
confused at times.
I hope this makes some sense?
I am very interested in learning though, and I feel I would stick with
it. I hear crocheting can be relaxing.
I am lucky that I do at least know what a crochet hook is. So that is at
least a good start. LOL!
What do you all think?
Is this something someone who is totally blind, can learn? Even if they
have zero experience?
I have very, very limited sighted assistance. So a lot of what I do,
will most likely be by trial, and error.
Any thoughts, and suggestions are much appreciated. I am excited to be a
part of this list. And, I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thank you,
Terri
