Looking ahead...
Well, I was looking ahead, beyond the graphed instructions...and...
when you start the next repeat after the last row on the graph, you have to start at different places to maintain the integrity of the pattern.
I think that for the most part, most of the pattern is fairly "memorizable", but two or three of the panels aren't.
The next repeat is going to be interesting....it's not something I've done before, so I'm a little more than intrepid....scared...ok...TERRIFIED!

Hi Tenna, if you look at the chart, the repeats for each of the different pats are shaded. I'm thinking that enlarging the patterns, cutting out only the repeated sections and then pasting them in order on another sheet of paper might help you. If you do it vertically you can check off each row on each of the different pats as you go along. I know that the longer twisted st patterns are not very intuitive and I will be married to the charts for the duration. Hope this helps!

If you have a program like Stitch and Motif maker you can generate one repeat of each chart and then cut and paste it on top of the last repeat and next to each chart building each up til you think you won't need it any more. The repeats are not evenly divisible so it will be problematic. YOu could also do it on knitters graph paper or any graph paper but knitters graph paper is in the right proportion for row and stitch which are not square.
