In my continuing efforts to actually design something (I'm working on some fingerless mittens in alpaca with rabbits on them) I'm learning a lot about different graph papers. I initially tried a rabbit chart in Annemor Sundbo's Everyday Knitting which looked adorable in the square graph chart in the book. Knitted up the rabbits looked more like anteaters with big ears. I do have some knitter's graph paper so I've been using that for charts and it really does make a difference.
Once you know your row and stitch gauge, you can go HERE and input the numbers and print out knitter's graph paper so your color charts will be exactly the same size as your stitches. How cool is that?
Here's a Peaches action shot. Happy weekend!
