Is there a yarn that WON'T work for felting?
1SSI Medicaid for my children 2Inclusive education, including higher ed opportunities for my children 3An enforced ADA 4My scooter 5My hearing assistance devices (not hearing aids) 6An accessible home for myself and my parents 7An accessible vehicle (I don't have this.) 8Disability community (ADAPT, Not Dead Yet, Society for Disability Studies, Disability History Association, FRIDA, VSArts, and so many more.)
The fun fur type yarn might work, as long as your base yarn is wool of the non-superwash varietyI've used fun furs as a carry along yarn in felted slippers before, but only non-superwash animal fiber yarns (85% or higher animal fiber) will felt successfully.
Ok.well here it goesSorry if I get a little harsh1Normal priced hearing aids so I have a chance of not looking like a dork in front of my friends and family when I have to ask them to repeat things a million times/write everything down for mePreferably one that has that thing that makes tinnitus less annoying 2Doctors that aren't morons (again, sorry for harsh tone, but it's true where I live) and that aren't like 3 hours away from me 3A day where I'm not constantly teased for my hearing, especially when they call me deaf! I'm NOT deaf yet, people! Seriously, just because I don't get everything you say doesn't mean I'm stupid or deaf! Just speak slower and clearer people! (Sorry, I'm ranting again) 4Something to make the bones in my ears stop fusing together (hopefully without surgery)5A magic pill that makes every health problem go away forever 6A class near me that teaches ASL so that I can learn better and talk to more people without saying Huh? all the time 7Some sort of FM system for places like church 8People in my area who understand me and don't ridicule me for my special abilities (i.edisabilities - man I hate that word) or better yet people who are facing the same problems as I am 9Something that makes my joints stop hurting 10Items like pencils, hair brushes, cups, toothbrushes, etc that don't hurt my hands when I try to use themAnd also something that lets me type without giving me a lot of pain Sorry.that's 10, but I could list so many more! Personally, I love number 5! :)
1) A website specifically for support of YOUNG disabled people2) A cane I can use and not get made fun of by other teens(Best I've found is a pink one) 3) My Permanent Handicapped Parking Space State Permit 4) A School system that is TOTALLY unbiased towards disabled(My school is mercilessly prejudiced) 5) My Disability Income! 6) Better self esteem (It IS TO related) 7) A decent and easy to enter shower system8) A teacher that will actually let me use a tape recorder ( I can't write ) I am so glad that I found this section!
1- wheelchair accessible bathrooms wherever I go (properly designed ones where you can actually close the door and grab bars in a useful place) 2- ramps/no stairs wherever I would like to go 3 - wheelchair cushions that prevent decubiti, have covers that are easily changed and not too expensive, and don't bottom out/get a hole in them, at least not for a long time And also correct my pelvic tilt (spasticity has pulled my pelvis more to one side than the other) 4 - a wheelchair that could prevent my feet from constantly coming off the foot pedals and help keep sitting posture straight and also be easy to disassemble when getting out of a car (I have a hard back on the chair that has to be removed before the chair folds up) 5 - easy to use, frequent, accessible, public transportation everywhere 6 - airplane bathrooms that are easy to get to and use in a wheelchair - or - A catheter that I could wear for long trips that does not leak, get clogged, get pulled out, with a bag that can be easily hidden 7 - no high counters anywhere so I don't have to crane my neck and the employees can always see me8 - curb cuts at every corner, all smooth, none too steep and none that the chair can get caught on and send you flying.
