I would do the best you can if you want to scan it. I know that when I learn new crafts or other things I have to see the picture to figure it out, but I know that most people are not like me and can just follow the step by step directions. You could try scanning one of the pages with pictures and asking someone who hand knits if it seems clear to them without the picture description. I know Lissi hand knits. I am not sure who else here does. I can just barely hand knit but probably I couldn't hand knit today without watching my video first because I wouldn't remember how. I'll bet there are others here who hand knit you could ask too. That way you'd have some feed back from a person without sight as to if the book itself can stand alone without image descriptions. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
