Mar. 30th, 2009 11:53 pmTonight was a good night. I managed to relax and I feel a lot better. I think my upcoming test is kind of bothering me.
I worked on the knitting font tonight and converted all the shading to purl dots. I created numbers (though I still need to edit them as far as before-and-after spacing), and they look pretty good. I think they are the right size for the ends of the rows though, and that was my main concern tonight.
It was frustrating for a while because the site I'm using went down for a bit without warning. Rar! But I finally got logged in and was able to make my changes fairly quickly.
I think I may add a few more symbols as far as cabling goes. Though I have only done them rarely, there are cables involving odd numbers and uneven combinations that I need to make sure are chartable with my characters. Things like three over one crossings might be tricky or maybe even no doable. When Barbara Walker had a difficult operation or one that would mess up her lovely charting scheme, she simply assigned that combination of stitches a number in parentheses, plunked that into the chart, and made you go back to the key to figure out what she meant for you to do. I had been hoping to avoid that, but there may not be a good way around it.
At least I've got numbers created, so if I need to include those I can copy the characters and put brackets or something around them as new characters. I should probably also do a few numbered increases ("v" with a number in it) and inverted "v" decreases with numbers under the vees.
Hmmm. I thought running out of keys would not be an issue, but all of a sudden I'm wondering if I have enough left....I'm sure with the extra keys I can make it fit.
