Crochet advice? (self.Blind)
submitted by Mysterybanjo
I have quite low vision up close but im trying to learn to crochet and knit. Does anyone have tips that make it easier??

VI knitter here! I wish I had better tips for learning with low vision, I mostly want to encourage you that it’s possible to learn and achieve a high level of skill without being able to see well. Now that I know the feeling of needles and yarn it is easy to do simple stitches by feel. I figure I learned the way most people do, just trial and error until it works the way it’s supposed to!

When learning new techniques, I like to find YouTube videos and zoom way in to learn how to do it, rather than reading text or zooming in on a diagram.

Hi. This is an adaptive crocheting technique for the visually impaired by Sister Margaret Mary. https://youtu.be/Z_VkPUK-12M

Hope that this helps!

If you can find a local group that crochets/knits, go to a meeting and ask someone if you can feel them working for a while. Most crafters love to share their craft, and I am sure someone would even be able to recommend a first time project.
