Hello all,
New to this site -- referred by a FB fellow Tunisian crochet friend. I'm wondering about software to produce charts for Tunisian patterns (not graphgans)--the type that indicate forward and reverse pass stitch/pattern info. Does anyone have info on producing them?
Thanks in advance!

Secoya,
LOL, I know you're not
exaggerating, because I suffer from the same addiction
disease! 
Your friend
is apparently a genius! Ha, I think of all of the problems I could
have avoided...and didn't...because I didn't read the instructions
first. 
Janet,
When working from a chart
you work bottom to top, right to left, then left to right, in
conventional chart format. This is why the numbering starts from
the bottom and not the top. You'll also notice the numbers start
from the side where you would start; odd rows start from the right,
evens start from the left. This represents the way you would
crochet. Though you're not literally
working from left to right for the even rows, when you flip the
work over to work each even or "return" row, you're crocheting the
side that goes left to right, though all you see when you're
working is right to left, as you would normally see a project that
you're working in rows. So when you get to the evens in a chart,
you'll reverse your reading of the chart to start at the side where
the number is, to keep your pattern from having every other row
going the wrong way.
The numbering of your
crocheting starts with the first single crochet row. It is not
advisable to add an extra row at the beginning or your numbering
will be off completely and this will get very, very confusing,
potentially messing up your pattern because you'll be constantly
trying to figure out which row you're really on and in which
direction you should be working. If you absolutely feel a need to
add an extra row for some reason, such as a border, I would suggest
adding it after you're done with the chart.
This one is 200 stitches across and
much too large to get into a single frame. Cross stitch over
tunisian.
Thank you very much. Now I can get the premiere features and start the fun!
