I keep thinking about using a computer, but still haven't made up my mind which way to go. I've got CorelDraw, but until someone tells me how to make the page full size and put a dot on it (and I used to teach computing!!) just to get me started, I don't seem to have time to start exploring that. It's all very well saying make a small elipse and then copy it if you already know how to make a small elipse with this program.
I thought about 'Knipling' which, being continental, seems much more free in the patterns is can create than Easylace and Lace 2000. But then is it able to make a fan or put in roseground as well? What particularly appealed is the fact that (apparently) at the touch of a key you can convert the pricking into a technical drawing. On the other hand, I'm quite happy with graph paper and pencil. I also managed to turn Steph's pre-prepared grids of dots pale blue with Paint Shop Pro so I can see my black dots and markings more easily, but can't remember how I got it perfect. Since the first one, the grids have been distorted when I open them, so I need to concentrate and write down how to do it. Particularly useful for non-45 degree grids.
