"ellice"
Well put, Dawne. That's exactly what I was taught, and what has been
published to the trade asso. Members - at least TNNA did one some years
ago
for the designers (full members). There are some well known designers
that
are particularly picky about their diagrams - and they should be. It
takes
a fair amount of work to do a nice diagram - beyond what a charting
program
just pops up.

I have found that a stitch diagram can make all the difference--some don't
really help, but the right one gives that aha moment.
