A short lunch break will be provided.

If you don't know how to use knit charts we suggest you learn! Once you do you most likely will not want to go back to reading long sentences of the patterns. But learning to read the written text of repeats is a good idea too. Click on the link below to go to a recent article by Interweave that just might change things for you and help you to learn to read simple charts,
and repeat texts.
