I have set up a new Facebook Page and Group. They are works in progress, but please go ahead and follow or join as you like!

Follow Working Out Kinks and Fingering Yarn on Facebook to get notifications when we post to the blog!

The new group is here: Facebook group for blind knitters and crafters. This group will mostly be restricted to blind and low-vision crafters, but a few sighted members may be approved on a case by case basis.

I’ve updated our Written Charts page to include the written chart for the Moon and Stars baby blanket. A kind volunteer translated it in June and I’m just now finally getting it uploaded. Better late than never I say. Enjoy!

Check out the link for the Written Charts page at the top to find the new text and a few others.
