This is very interesting. I never thought of doing this, partly because
neither of my optacons are currently in working order. But I have a book of
charts and when I get them fixed again, will definitely try it. Interesting!

Hi,
Do you have a specific pattern to start with? It sounds like
something we can do over skype. If you have a pattern you can send
that I can print out and then we can discuss it, that might be the
way to go. I've seen several ways to do charts and I think it would
dpend on a given pattern as to how to approach the chart. Hope we can
work this out.
