X-( Wouldn't you KNOW it? I absolutely abhorr charts, and the one shawl I'm dying to make in Myrna's book is entirely charted. DAMN! Now I have to write the darned thing out, yeesh! Noreen who WAS going to start this tonight



X-(


I also detest charts for textured (or lace) knitting. Good luck with it!

Higs, Katherine

This from someone, who does not know anything about knitting charts, so can even less read them, I was just wondering if there is not some sort of little software somewhere that can do that for you....???? Roger is there such a beast..... For instance I can see (pun) that David would need such a software if he was to use a charted pattern like that....No?

Noreen,

I prefer charts. It all what you learned with I guess.

Its kind of like riding a bike. The more you ride the better you get.

No Noreen, you can not swear at me. :)

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Why dont you try making it from the chart? take a piece of cardboard and cut out a WINDOW size of one row ,, this will make it so much easier to follow the chart, mirjam

Now now Noreen, stop stamping your foot, and get on with it...rofl.

higz Cher ( who detests charts too)

Either scan or photocopy the chart,then use magnetic strips and board like the ones used for cross stitch. There is also a page holder with a sliding type bar used to keeping track of lines when typing that works well also. DA

I would NEVER swear at you, Dennis, grin.

Don is laughing at me, tho, says charts are easy, and I make a TERRIBLE mariner....

:D Hugs, Noreen

I couldn't convince the faeries or the leprechans to do it for me, so stamping foot harder still, LOL! Hugs, Noreen

Hi, DA! I've got one of those... I just MIGHT do that... indecisive today... Noreen

And Don most likely a terrible knitter. These two charts do not compare at all...LOL
