God bless this dear woman. We could all learn from her. Instead of feeling sorry for her lot in life, she has turned to blessing the lives of others through her beautiful handiwork. What an inspiration! I would love to be able to learn from her how she manages to do this in blindness. I have trouble making my amateurish knitting look good with full sight! May she have joy and happiness in all she does.

Josefa Burningham is blind and 80 years old, but that can't keep her from knitting afghans, which she donates to those in need. She has stitched more than 400. (Stuart Johnson, Deseret Morning News)
