I think my fingers are bloody stumps! I have been working on the Pashmina Lace Cowl Pattern in several different programs. Most of the ones online use a format to create the graph to gauge, and then it transitions into your graph. BUT, it is downloaded as a PDF document, which is a PAIN! I don't simply want to print, which is great if that is all you want to do, then these types of programs are perfect.
I wanted to download to my documents and then create my graph, pattern key and insert it into the pattern. No can do! So I searched around some more and found a great little tutorial using Excel, and it proved to be better than the last one I used. I will add the link: http://www.marniemaclean.com/words/2007/08/using_excel_to_1.html.
It is short, sweet and to the point that even an Excel challenged person that I am, could understand it. So, I would like to share the knitting key. The graph wouldn't work in this space, it just got strange looking.

This is my beautiful daughter, Jessica modeling the Pashmina Cowl. And for a bit of whimsy....
Just for fun, she pulled it up over her hair. Very cute.
As before, when I published the original photo, I had offered to share this free from me to you, just because. Thank You for following my blog.
Have a great weekend and Happy Knitting!
