Reading written instructions for a pattern is slow and painful for me. especially if it’s a lace work. After working on the fan and feather throw for a few weeks, it got boring and repetitive. So I got the bolero out. It’s a pattern from a Treasury of Knitting Patterns called Frost Flower. Pretty soon, it got frustrating and the progress was crawling. I need a chart for lace patterns. Finally got the charting paper out and was going to do it by hand. Then I wondered if there is anything on the web. Lo and behold, I found knitchart.
It is so exciting to find something high-tech in the low-tech craft. Leo had to wait till I finished the chart before we went out to El Campeseno. It is easy to use and after fumbling a bit, I managed to print it as a pdf too. The knitting progressed much faster and easier after that. It’s a wonderful world on the web. You can almost find anything you need.
