Question about knitting charts

[karalianne]

I understand how to read them and all, so that's not the question

Do an online search for 'knitting graph paper' - there seem to be quite a few resources out there that you can print out yourself. As knit stitches aren't square, you'll need to adapt the patterns.

Bookmarked - thanks! :)

I can't wait to start working on this design, I'm really rather excited about it. :)

Cool - good on you! I've been knitting for years and still haven't tried colourwork.

This has always been my favorite source of knitter's graph paper--it's got a lot more options than the site mentioned above.

Thanks much! :)

I'd try a swatch with the pattern as already graphed for the cross-stitch, especially if you're going to do it in stranded work rather than intarsia. Stranded work pulls in laterally because of the stranding, and your stitches can really end up pretty close to square, and maybe close enough that it looks just fine. So I'd try what you've got before re-charting it.
