New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

New!  The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

New!  We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn!  If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you.  This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic!  (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)

New!  The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!

Welcome to Stitchboard!  Feel free to sit and stay awhile.  Check out our new Premier features.  In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request!  We have many more features planned, too!  Laughing

yes  eventually i noticed the "black and white"button

however  when i make a pattern it misses so many stitches it's not recognizable

 either way, sooo many shades of grey it's impossible to do or sooo many missing parts that the pattern is nowhere near complete Yell
when it's set to max size it's closer than using for example 80 stitches max but that's not saying much.

confusing because it's a simple line drawing...seems that would be MUCH simpler than a complex photo or such.

iv'e downloaded a few coloring pages to stitch up, tried all the options i can think of.
Contrast, brightness settings, etc...
even tried to print it out and "fill in" the missing stitches, HA  a lesson in madness! Undecided

is it just not possible to do this?

FYI, wanted to stitch a few pillows of the Flintstones for my grandaughter Smiley   Adores them as much as i do and LOTS of coloring pages free online






Hi, I have just joined your page & I have been loom knitting for about a year. I am interested in learning how to apply an idea or image to make a pattern. Any tips or ideas are welcome. Not sure where to start. Dee :-)

Hi.

I'll finally be returning to bringing corrections live late June or early July.  I've had a lot of other work that I needed to finish first.  (Actually winding up the second to last item next week).

Anyway, two things. 

First, we'll be automatically extending subscriber expiration dates by several months, probably a full year.

Second, please let me know if you'd like to try the upcoming version.  It has several corrections in beading, including Peyote.  (Peyote had several issues which are corrected in the next version.)

Sorry for the long delay in getting this new version live but it IS definitely coming.  And if you want to try it, let me know and I can make it available for you.

Terry



Amy,

In addition to needing a better format, I can see where this image could be problematic, even in GIF form. The problem with the image itself is that inner line. The freePatternWizard will do its best with it, but since the outer line is thick and the inner line is thin, it's going to have trouble designating which stitch is for which line. There's not enough space and too much line, too close together.

There are alternatives. You could make the fleur-de-lis as a solid and then cross stitch over your single crochets to make the inner line. Another possibility would be to surface crochet with your color for that inner line. That would probably look the best! Smile You could also just do some simple experimenting...make a gauge swatch and see how it looks to surface crochet or cross stitch over your single crochets, to give you an idea of what would work best. Smile

Jessica,

Wow, thanks for all of that great info!  Kiss  Please do keep us informed of your progress, perhaps share some pictures as you go along, if you don't mind.  You're a genius!  Kiss
