starting out

[adventures_with_kat]

Hey guys

I've recenty lost a huge majority of my vision and have always been to art/crafty things and was looking at getting into knitting.
Do you guys think it is very visual?
Also any good book recommendations to use to help start out?

thanks in advance :-)

I think it's completely possible to knit without relying on vision. It may be trickier to learn, (I started knitting without looking after I already knew how to knit) but if you start with big yarn and big needles, it should help a lot. Ditto on not starting with black yarn or fuzzy yarn! Something with a light color - or just fondle the yarn at the store and find out what you can see the best.

Good luck!
