The first thing I did was to turn the letters of wish into numbers, using base 6: 35 13 31 12. (I picked base 6 because I liked the resulting charts.)
Then I charted them in various ways, and picked this one:
Here’s how I charted it, using my method 4. I start in the bottom right corner and work from right to left since knitting goes from right to left. (This is arbitrary, really, but I like to be consistent.)
The first digit of wish is 3, so I count three squares. Then I fill the next square with black to show that I counted 3 for the first digit. The next digit is 5, so I count 3 squares, and… oops! No more room on this row. However, I jump up to the right end of the next row tofinish counting 4 and 5, and mark the next available square with black. The third digit is 1 so I count one square and mark the next. And so on and so forth. The blank square in the upper left doesn’t matter for the code, since there’s not a black square at the end to indicate that it’s been counted.
Once I marked out this grid, I mirrored it along the vertical axis. To eliminate double YOs, and to make it a good set of proportions for certain kinds of designs, I added some purl columns as borders. Then I added wrong side rows, replaced each black square with a yarnover, and spent a lot of time swatching to figure out where I wanted to place the decreases required to make a standard rectangular stitch pattern from the charts. Finally, I added another repeat of the pattern vertically, but offset halfway to add visual interest.
