Question comes from Monique (moemoe on Ravelry) and moemoeknits on Twitter
"Can you talk about designing your own charts for color work? Where can I find information?"
I suggest using graph paper or excel.  Can print out graph paper for knitting that is a box per stitch or box per 2,3,4 etc. stitches depending on what you decide. See www.theknittingsite.com & www.needlepointers.com
Here is a great tutorial from Marnie Maclean on charting!
PS I found this stitch paper on Rav for $1 HERE
