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!

Hi, Nicky.
First, let me respond to your first and second questions.
The current version of software does not support individual changing of pixels. The next major version has this and is still in finalizing stages.
Since you're using limited colours, might I suggest you take your existing image, resize it to 250 pixels, and save it as a .gif image containing 9 colours. The program will still adjust it vertically to keep the finished pattern proportional so it might need to widen lines here and there but it should be close if you use a .gif image.
I do have a way that you can specify an exact vertical row count if you want to but the stitched item would not be proportional. However, in this case, the program should not add anything. Let me know if you'd like to try this and I'll give you more information and a link to a test version.
Regarding a Stylecraft palette of colours, it would not be much work to add this to the program. I would need to do a bit of research and get RGB numbers of each yarn colour. We discussed it here and I'd be willing to add it if it would help.
Let me know the results if you can try a .gif image described above.

Is 150 wide stitch becomes 70 inches longer? (Size: for 18 counts 8 3/4 inches)
I posted one FREE cross stitch pattern for Kindle for today...grab it before it's 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.)

Only two month since last update... whoops.
Hope everyone has been well in the
meanwhile.
Since the last post I have now
become a Mrs and gone to an impromptu honeymoon to norther Norway
(our original plan of New Zealand being impossible thanks to
covid).
And I am still working
on the project, a little at a time. Uploading some pictures I took
a few weeks ago.
There is one thing I could use some
advice on. Despite me originally trying to wash hands before start
work on this and keeping liquids away from it, the cloth has become
a bit stained by now in the corner where I have been working.
Should I wash it in the middle of the
project? Or wait until it is done? Anything particular with which
to wash it or things to keep in mind?
