embellishments - lettering

[pmcgary]

Okay I just finished a soaker and I want to do some block lettering...does anyone know if there is link out there for someone who has already done the work for figuring out letters?

I could graph it myself but was hoping someone already has somewhere.

Those are very cool, Pam! I'm going to try the first one for the butt of a soaker for Niels. :D

great sites! THe only problem with using cross stitch graphs for knitting embellishment is that it's come out looking smushed funny, becuase knitting stitches aren't square like cross stitch fabric is. If you do a google search for knitter's graph paper, you'll see they are flat rectangles (long sides on top and bottom).

:bow Yes, keep in mind that knitting is not square! :oops:

don't blush, Pamela!! The only reason I know that is cause I've done it myself, LOL :oops: Definitely wasn't one of my best moments :lol:

You could modify by removing some of the vertical rows...but you'd have to play w/it to make sure it works.
