Wow! Freeware is amazing. The other day, Lauren linked to knitpro, an online application that will chart any image for knitting or other needlework. Being that I need a chart for the mystery present, I tried it and it worked beautifully! The mystery present is a secret, but I can demonstrate for you with another image...
Like say, for instance, you wanted to create a loving tribute to Our Fearless Leader in stitches. You might try a little something like this:
And beneath it, you might chart a caption. "I'm with stupid," for example. It's just that easy.
(And the creator, MicroRevolt, has several other neato things on its site, like this crocheted petition to Nike)
