Another beautiful Saturday in this side of the world.
During the past week, I have been converting some needle knit dishcloth patterns onto chart form. The charts have been a great hit and a few friends have been asking me about the knitting font I use...but I won't tell...it is my secret, my secret. HAHAHAHA! Ok, it is not a secret, it is actually a well known website through out the blog-sphere.
A few months ago after searching low and high for a way to create nice looking charts for some of my loom knitted patterns, I came across a terrific website, Aire River Design, they provide a free knitting font for personal use and for self-publishers. It is very simple to use. Just download the font onto your pc, install it and you are set. You can use the font on any of your computer programs and create professional looking charts.
I use mine in Word. I simply insert a table with the number of columns (for stitches) and with the number of rows necessary. Then I just insert the symbol needed into each cell. That's it! Really neat and easy!
There now, you know my secret to my pretty charts. There are other free knitting fonts out there, but I have not had the chance to try them.
Now...for the things I spy on my beautiful Saturday--what do you Spy?
Love the new blog name banner!
I use the knitting font you mention. I also use - http://www.knittinguniverse.com/knitu/kfont/index.html
It is free as well and pretty easy to use.
