Here's something you can try.  I copied the knitting graph paper onto my
computer then import a picture into my paint program.  The import the
graph paper and set it to appear opaque.  Then I have a picture with a graph
over top of it.  Then simply print out.  This only works with the type of
files that my paint program accepts but I have been able to get some good
results this way.

I was in ACMoore and saw transparent chart paper in different
counts..(in cross stitch area).. you put your picture behind it and line
the squares  etc...wouldn't that work if you couldn't find what you want

Barb,
If you have a scanner, computer editing program (one usually comes with
the scanner) and a printer that's all you need.

(1) Scan the item
(2) Edit it for proper size
(3) Rotate it horizontally (Make a mirror image of it).  If you knit
    from 'top-down' you can also rotate it vertically.
(4) Put a page of pre-printed graph paper in your printer
(5) Print the image

Simple, and it works.
