Ask coach Donna J. Jodhan – can a blind person learn how to knit?

Ask the Coach!

May 17 2023

My name is Donna Jodhan and I am using my extensive experience as a sight loss coach as well as my lived experience to share and respond to questions that are submitted to me and I also invite you to share your thoughts on questions asked.

 

For this week:  a question from Gina in Washington DC.

Gina would like to learn how to knit but is hesitant as a blind person.  Are there any tips?

 

My response:

Gina, as someone who is also blind/vision impaired, it has taken me several years of on and off lessons to really get the hang of knitting.

I do not think that it is due to my being blind/vision impaired but rather my commitment to it and to find a teacher who is willing and ready to work with me.

 

Along the way I have had a few teachers but my present teacher Susan is a real gem.  She is a retired teacher and she is always coming up with ways to help me.

 

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
