INTRODUCTION

Horizons is pleased to present its new catalogue for 2003. As you scan through the pages, you'll find many additions as well as entries from our previous catalogue. To make it easier to find what you need, we've included a table of contents.

Since its beginning in 1977, Horizons for the Blind has worked very hard to make cultural, recreational and quality-of-life experiences more accessible and interesting for those of us who are blind or visually impaired. This catalogue of materials is a part of these "access" activities.

Many of us have gone shopping or have had articles read with exciting information about crafts or recipes--all of which are unavailable to us. People who are sighted very often pick up a little book, glance through it, and either use or collect the information. This opportunity is rarely available to us.

Horizons' catalogue cannot possibly answer all needs. But this collection of materials does begin to bridge that gap. All materials are currently available in braille and large print. Prices for both formats are the same.

We hope you enjoy our catalogue as much as we like putting it together. We are constantly adding new titles, so be sure to keep track of future issues.

And, let us hear from you! We would like to know your preferences. You can help to build our collection to include your favorite items.

Have you ever admired knitting done by a friend or relative? With the help of this short booklet from Coat's and Clarks containing fourteen patterns, you will be able to make attractive items from a simple scarf to a more complicated sweater. The book will show you various techniques such as casting on, knit, purl, increase, decrease and binding off. Included are instructions for blocking, laundering and taking care of your knit treasures. It is a good reference guide to keep within easy reach.

Learn to Crochet: CC2 $9.00

This basic booklet from Coat's and Clarks will give you all of the crochet basics you need to know. You'll learn about the chain, single, double and triple crochet as well as increasing and decreasing. The booklet contains twelve patterns including potholder, drawstring bag and a granny motif scarf.

Learn to Tat: CC3 $8.00

Tatting is fun and easy. You can use it to spruce up your notecards, or to make lapel pins and edge your favorite handkerchief. The booklet from Coat's and Clarks will give the basics of double stitch, ring and picot. There are fourteen patterns from edgings to placemats.

Hairpin and Broomstick Lace: CP14 $6.00

Here are two different variations to crocheting. Hairpin and broomstick lace are easy to learn, and you use 4-ply yarn. In broomstick you'll find a shawl, sleeveless tunic, bed jacket and afghan. In hairpin, there are patterns for a baby blanket and poncho. The Coat's and Clarks booklet will give you complete directions to do these crafts.

Cro-Hook!

You'll soon be an expert! Easier than crochet and softer to wear, Cro-Hook will be a happy addition to your needlework skills! Cro-hooks are 14 inches long and have a hook at each end. They are available in sizes F, G, H, I, J, K and N. Cro-hook is worked with two skeins of yarn--one at each end. The fabric is reversible and features subtle ridged stripes. Look in the "Craft Closet" section of this catalogue to order these to add to your craft collection.

Knitting In Plain English: CP53 (3 volumes) $36.50

Grab a pair of knitting needles and a cup of your favorite coffee or tea and enjoy this book. You'll feel like its author Maggie Righetti is sitting with you and chatting about knitting. This is one of the best books we've found to show someone how to knit. It's not wordy--it's just plain English! If you already know how to knit, you'll also like this book as many of the more advanced stitches and techniques are discussed. Because this book has a good index in the back, it will make an excellent reference book to keep near your knitting patterns.

Crocheting In Plain English: CP54 (3 volumes) $36.50

This book, also by Maggie Righetti, does for crocheting what "KNITTING IN PLAIN ENGLISH" does for knitting. It meets the needs of those who have never picked up a hook as well as those of you who have been crocheting for years. We especially like the book because pictures (often so vital in print instruction books) are not of great importance. You will understand it without them. And, with Maggie's great sense of humor, you will smile as you learn.
