The lovely, helpful knitters at Blind Stitchers Google Group have helped me find a wonderful, accessible resource : Walker's Treasury of Knitting. It is available as a download from Bookshare.org, and with a membership, you are given the software to read the book aloud. I have started in right away, and tried the Harris Tweed Stitch Pattern. It adjusted well to the loom.

This is a stitch pattern that will curl, so you may want to consider yarn that can be blocked, and a garter stitch border on your project.
