Schematics

After looking at my drawing of Sir Walter, I realize that I need to hold my nose and draw. I don't draw easily or well, especially on the fly. I need to sit with my tongue between my teeth and consider every line. Pencil works, not ink.

Which leads me to schematics. That I think I can do. One square for every inch of knitting. The foot of a sock is 10 squares, the cuff 7.5. Do I do a side view that looks like Christmas is coming? Or lay the sock on its face with the heel sticking up like this ________ ?

Then there are the charts for lace and cables. Arrgh! Let me out of here! Stop me before I OCD again!
