Thankee, thankee

for all your kind comments about Haven. Much appreciated!

Johanna, your comment on my previous post...

"Just thought I'd mention that stitches tend to be wider than high (like you said your tension is 22 sts and 30 rows across a 4" square), so if you are drawing this on regular graph paper, it will come out slightly wider i.e. a bit squashed when knitted. Shouldn't really make a big difference for a boat, but if you want it to be in proportion, try stretching the image file by about 30-40% in height, then print on regular graph paper."

Hell and death! You're absolutely right, excuse me while I go and weep in a dark corner...

Back soon with some sort of cunning plan to avoid completely re-graphing the image.

I think you can download free knitting graph paper that has elongated boxes. i would just google search knitting graph paper. might be helpful?

amy is right - there is even a website where you can plug in what your stitches per inch are and it will generate the right size boxes so you get the best sense possible. I think I saved the site on my work computer - I'll send it along tomorrow if you want
