Cindy,
Will you be at Indiana State Convention this weekend?
I'll be there, and can teach you hands-on!

I received this quite some time ago but while I'm cleaning up my email I
wanted to pass this resource along now that we have an appropriate list for
it.

I do not knit so I can't vouch for any of this information but I would love
to learn to knit and/or crochet.  Hint, hint, anyone willing to teach via
phone or email?

Cindy

Hi all,

I get an e-mail newsletter from Lion Brand yarn and, at the bottom of
this e-mail, is some information from today's newsletter. The website is
lionbrand.com

Linda Stroot

Starting today, all Lion Brand patterns are offered in three versions.
In addition to our standard version that includes images and text, each
pattern is now available in two versions specially designed for members
of the Lion Brand community who are visually impaired. Every pattern
includes two new links at the top:

The first link formats the pattern to be read in large-format type or by
text-to-speech browsers;
The second link formats the pattern so it can be read by devices that
produce Braille.
We've also added color descriptions to all our yarns and added special
features to patterns and the pattern directories that are not visible to
sighted readers but that make it easier to understand the patterns when
they are read by text-to-speech browsers. We welcome your suggestions
and comments.  Please send them to support at lionbrand.com
