I tend to shy away from patterns that are chart only. Almost always, I will use the written instructions instead of charts if the pattern has both. That blue is just stunning.

I also find it easier to transport, and know what row I stopped on. A chart is just too iffy for me. I translate all charts into words. But I love the written word in general, so maybe it's me.

Love charts! Also agree with your assessment of the largely crappy NYC weather. We were just on the East Coast for 10 days, and there were only a couple of non-rainy or non-cloudy days. Luckily it wasn't brutally hot. I agree with Melanie. Love charts! Also agree with your assessment of the largely crappy NYC weather.

I prefer charts over written instructions. I tend to get lost in written instructions, and this does not happen when I follow charts. Charts also make it easier to catch a mistake quickly. Charts rule! :) Very pretty shawl!

After all, too much text sometimes makes a knit look way more difficult than it really is! It's a gorgeous shawl, by the way!
