New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Hi everyone! I'm Jan, from Tennessee. 62 y.o. newbie, in the sense I haven't crocheted since I was 12! Life got in the way! Retired now, so back at it! Look forward to seeing what people have to say and what we can do in this community!

Silvertiger,
Due to the limited size (I'm sure you didn't upload it that way...that's likely a limitation of the software, sigh) I'm not entirely positive about what I'm looking at, so I don't want to steer you the wrong way. What you need for each row is four rows. Row one is knit with the "background" color. Row two has you purling your letters (the entire row still in the background color), knitting what will be the background (or main color) of the row. Row three is picking up the new (foreground) color, knitting one row with it. Row four is where you do the opposite of what you did in row two...purl the knit stitches and knit the purl stitches - except in your foreground or contrasting color.
This same procedure goes for everything in the pattern...knitting first and third rows, changing colors every two rows. I know it sounds more complex than it is, and if you're like I am, you probably get quite confused reading a pattern or looking at a chart, not being able to picture what's going on.
Something you may want to do...with small amounts of yarn, why not try one letter? If you only do one letter as a test, it may become much clearer. LOL, it's like I told one of my friends about reading knitting patterns beforehand - you know, as we're supposed to do, argh - I can't make head or tail out of them until I sit down and at least try it.

Hi Terry & Melanie, I'm thinking the 'math'
behind C2C graphs would be very similar to that of a sc line by
line graph, but you would limit the width & length of the
finished parameters. I'm not really a math genius, far
from it in fact, but that would be my thinking on it in simplistic
terms, obviously Terry has a math brain and could go into it
further than my noggin' can handle!
P.S.
Thank you for the free pattern wizard.
Hugs,
Naomi from Australia
