Weaving letters

Can anyone suggest a resource for alphabet and number left lists? I'm just looking for something a little more decorative than the standard 7 thread block letters. Thanks

Jeff: Try making up your own design. Some graph paper and a pencil is all you need. Each line of squares on the X axis represents the threads you use to make the letters, and each line of squares on the Y axis represent the threads that wrap around the blank. John

Thanks guys. I will check all of those out. Sounds like a ton of opportunities with the graph paper too.

Go to a used book store and look through Cross Stitch pattern books. You will find the alphabet already on graph paper on most of those.
