I have to jump in here....I made lace etc, for 30 + years...still do, on a small scale . Like my father and one son, I have never had too working eyes. I have driven a motor home all over this country. I know that I have no depth perception....but one does adjust, sometimes a lot!!!
Doris Southard used to tell me about a blind lacemaker in Pittsburgh . As the lady used to knit, also, Doris (who was a braillewriter for the Iowa university system) would Braille knitting instructions for her. So yes, impaired eyesight does not need to be a problem......depends on the sight in the ' good eye'. At half past 85, I need to use a pillow that I can tuck up to my tummy.......so it works for all my needs. Actually it is really easier to tat and bead....but hard not to lace a little.........just a little so I can still remember enough to help beginners I have lurked on this list since 'round about '98.......always reading with love and thanks for all the sharing. Hi, bye and hugs to all who remember me :-)))) BarbE (Barbara Engle, now in Texas) > - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
