( Bird's Eye and Spiderling Lace )
These are two patterns from Sharon Miller's Heirloom Knitting. You'll see a lot of erasures near the bottom (the pattern is knitted from the bottom up) as I tried to figure out what was going on in these patterns.
One consequence of graphing out these patterns is that I've noticed some errors in the Heirloom Knitting book, for example, the photograph of Spiderling Lace shows the wrong side of the fabric, not that there really is a wrong side, but it's not the side of the fabric that shows in the chart.
It feels almost like calligraphy exercises to write out these charts. I'm trying to make them in a CAD program, but there's something about pencil on paper that's very soothing.
