    @Xavier_Ho @SherryHintze Wow, it’s a really good question. I’ve never seen that type of thing before, but I’ve also never looked for it myself. Let me check Ravelry…


    @Xavier_Ho @SherryHintze There is a Ravelry group called “Blind Webs” for those with vision impairment: https://t.co/jzytygJbVV. (You need a Rav account to access.) It doesn’t look super active but there are a number of threads about using screen readers with patterns, etc.

    “So the flannel… is that a nod to the crispy Seattle weather or are you just trying to stay warm in front of the fridge?”


    @petehanssens Original plan was a full Courtney Love homage, but my lacy Grandma slip dress ended up more work-inappropriate than I’d planned, so this was a last minute switch out. 😂
