I'm usually playing with them for socks, so I end up having to chart them & figure out how to do them in the round too. Worth the effort (usually!).<br /><br />Love your handspun.

I typed them out on my computer, using a different font, sometimes bold, sometimes italicized, for each line, then printed it out in a font size that was comfortable to see without my glasses ( I like to knit with bare naked eyes in the morning!). It worked really well for me. And I think a sampler square helps a lot to get in the rhythm. Too bad I hate to spin, because knitting lace with your own yarn is going to be wonderful!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308570073032398834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-68816476127019443972013-12-15T19:26:49.126-08:002013-12-15T19:26:49.126-08:00You can graph it on excel, too.

Then you can print it out - if you convert either of them to pdf, you can actually blow up sections so they're big. In excel, I used 2.11 for rows/cells (high and wide), and they print out at roughly 1/4" square - perfect for my aging eyes!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.com
