I downloaded a book to my Sony Reader on knitting; the goal is to teach my wife to knit. She has little to do with her time and Joyce wanted a hobby that would fill her time. I will have to read her the step by step instructions and maybe I will learn a craft besides this too. In the past I have read to Joyce, but with her scanner and computer it takes away the challenge. The book we are going to work from "A Passion for Knitting" hopefully will take me through the steps of helping her to continue on from what she has already learned. Joyce had someone teach her how to cast-on and off but that was about the extent to it, no one wanted to work with her, and it wasn't that she couldn't grasp it. I believe they didn't feel comfortable around a blind person, because they never came back to teach her again. My hope is with this book I can get her going and from there she will have a wonderful hobby that will occupy her time. It will give her something more to get up in the morning too than just the same old thing. And I look forward to the things that she may knit like a scarf or even a sweater for me.
