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!

I assumed I would be able to get written step by step instruction as with any other crochet pattern.
Welcome!
As of November 1, 2015, the upgrades, which were originally part of a beta test, are now premier features. If you would like, you can subscribe to either a 300 additional stitches or a 500 additional stitches Premier feature; the introductory prices are $2.99 and $4.99 per year, respectively. If you're interested in the 500 stitch width option, you do not have to also subscribe to the 300 stitch width option, as this is included.

Sherry,
I'm afraid I suffer from the same affliction. They follow me...now they're jumping on my head and screaming when I'm awake! They will not leave me alone.
Same with the hooks and needles...and beads, too. I think it's a conspiracy. I think they plan late at night to trip me up during the day until they get the attention they crave. I found an errant piece of yarn under the covers today. Is that not suspicious? Because I think that's suspicious! (Glancing furtively around.)
How does that saying go? Just because you're crazy doesn't mean they're not out to get you...
I posted two FREE soap making books for Kindle for today...grab them before they're gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)

Gloshei,
You could definitely
work in beaded cross stitch if you choose. Keep in mind that beaded
cross stitch will leave your beads on a diagonal slant, though if
you're working large scale, that probably won't affect much, since
the more beads you have in your project the more coverage you'll
have and the less the slant will be obvious. Still, it may be
something to consider. You might perhaps want to try something
smaller to see if you're happy with the way the slant of the beads
look before you tackle something larger. Also, with cross stitch you'll want to
consider your fabric carefully, since the cross stitch fabric isn't
exactly the same shape as your beads, so some of the fabric could
show through. (Definitely use the same color of thread to apply
your beads as the fabric, so there's less to show through the
beadwork. Again, I'd suggest trying with a smaller scale image,
perhaps a small cross stitch pattern made in beads, so you can see
if this is what you'll ultimately like. )
I think it's
wonderful that you're willing to think outside the box and consider
options beyond traditional stitches!
