Jin laughed at me buying this book, which for the most part is made up up a bunch of knitting charts that look like black and white dots and squares. But it really did spark my creativity. I love that she has the charts organized by how many rows you have to work with, but then you have to figure out how many stitches across each one is. I used a bunch of sticky notes to isolate the chart and line I was working on for each row of knitting.
Took this pic on the MacBook camera so sorry it looks so bad!
Here is the book I used for the fair isle charts:
