I've read that you should try to learn something new every day. Well, this morning I learned how to take an image and convert it to a colorwork chart. :)

I did this conversion using GIMP. I had to do a bit of translating, because the original directions were written for Photoshop, and GIMP has its own quirks. But I'm rather pleased with this. Now, if I wish, I can create my own patterns. :)
Be afraid.
