Yes! Google "Knitting Font" and several free ones will come up. I use the set from Aire River Design in my Excel charts. The trick for downloading these fonts (for me at least) was finding the right folder on my computer where my other fonts are stored.

Good idea to keep the adorable husband, dog, and cats and the job with a subject you actually like. Those are all important to being happy. I've often said I would live anywhere as long as I had

"...away from the yarn and needles..".? Oh, there's always a little knitting project tucked into my bag. You never know when you have to wait in line, traffic lights, whatever.
