!), and other items I enjoy or are on my wish list!NASCAR Logo Charted Design
I decided to play around with the Pattern Maker for Cross Stitch software I bought a few years ago. It creates a color chart from an imported photograph or graphic. It can also be used to create images from scratch - much like drawing. I bought it so I could play around with converting some of my photos to charts, but haven't yet gotten around to doing that.
I found a NASCAR logo sticker that probably came with the really cool Tony Stewart Collectible (kinda like a doll) that Bill gave me at Christmas. We don't do gift exchanges, but he saw it in an Oakland truck stop/gas station and had to buy it for me as a gag gift! I was very delighted!!
Anyway... I scanned the sticker and for the past 2 (3?) hours have been playing around with the software to fine tune the design. Looks pretty good!
The chart can be used with any craft that requires a charted design.

Hi there, I have been hunting for a pattern for a crocheted Horse. I've seen the picture several times of a pattern by Fran Goreham but I can't find the pattern anywhere. I can't even find the Crochet World for June of 2004 which is supposed to have the pattern. If you could help me out I'd be truly grateful.
You can email me at rikkimae@yahoo.com
Thank you

Hi, Sherry - I just emailed you to let you know how to find it using the Internet Archive: Way Back Machine.
How would I crochet this?
Hi, Becky - You would use the Tunisian crochet method (also called afghan stitch) which uses a double-ended crochet hook to crochet the NASCAR logo using the chart on my blog at http://www.tamemymind.com/blog/2006/03/18/nascar-logo-charted-design.php
Information about Tunisian is here:

And lots of charts are here:
