I’m still plugging away at the example pattern for a class I’m teaching.  I’ve reached a point where I can leave it unfinished so that I’ll have something to work with as I teach.  That’s good!  The bad is that I stitched my design off center.  That annoys the OCD child in me.  Ah well.  It’s the first time I charted a pattern from a period source.  It will be better next time.

Speaking of charting patterns, I’ve looked into programs for doing just that.  I found a pretty decently priced one, then found out that I could chart these patterns using GIMP.  I have a tutorial I plan on working through and I’m pretty excited about charting!

I’ll have pictures of my work tomorrow.
