Comment Accessibility for all (Score 1) 213
People have mocked me for taking the time to include at least minimal accessibility features (and better than minimal where I know how) on my website's craft tutorials, especially for beading. Some people thought it quite silly that I'd bother, alleging that blind people can't bead.
Then a couple of months ago a woman wrote to me to thank me for taking the time, since she is converting patterns to a blind-friendly format by listing the number of beads by colour by row. She works with an elderly woman who has not let blindness stop her art.
I'm now in the process of converting my patterns to this format for blind users.
It's amazing what a little bit of consideration can do, even if one doesn't expect it to be useful.
