I also have a deaf friend I want to teach to crochet. I'm keeping separate posts in case these suggestions will help others also. She can see, so I think that will help. She does have some mental challenges. But can read and write and sign, so I'm sure she could handle this.

Any thoughts on ways to make this easier?
Again, I'm open to teaching her other crafts too (Not knitting though, as I don't really want to learn that - no offense, just not enough time in a day)
I have supplies for jewelry making, so I will probably teach her beading also.
Thanks for any help.
