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 am trying to make a pattern. I am a member and have never had a problem before. When i finish all my selections I'm getting the Error 500. Am I doing something wrong? I have made many patterns here and love the site. I'm using crochet. 80 stitches across. Letting the program select the colors. I was trying to use the darkness and sharpness setting and stray pixel cleanup. Also using a jpg file.
Line,
LOL, see that, the snake looked like so much fun, the puppy wanted a toy, too!
I've used cotton for toys. It depends on what I've got on hand...usually acrylic, but have some cotton, as well.
We'll just have to get you into collecting dolls for you, my dear!
My best friend and I both
collect dolls. She's a lot more serious about the hobby
than I am...she's taken classes on restoring dolls. I
just collect them as I find and like them. I like to make
the doll clothes, as you know, so it's good to have dolls, or the
sizing might be way off! 
LOL, so even though your boys don't get into playing with dolls, that doesn't mean you can't be a collector.
See, that's why you have to collect dolls for yourself...you don't have to worry about who in your area has boys and who has girls!
I agree...talking on the Internet isn't like having a friend down the street.
We have friends (neighbors)
here, and we like them...but none of them are interested in the
same things we like. 
That's why you have to live
nearby! (As if it's that easy.)
All right, sounds like a plan - crafts, cats, someone to make us food...we're all set! Now just win that
lottery! (Just don't tell my husband I've signed him up
to cook for us...he'll find out sometime when we put that apron on
him, bwahahahahahahaha!)
Ugh, isn't scratchy yarn the worst? Makes my fingers itch to think of working with it. I'm sorry you, too, know the disappointment of touching a beautiful yarn that feels like sandpaper. And because it's such a well-known and well-liked brand, I never said anything about it...except one day, I heard someone else talk about how rough it was...wow, glad not to be alone in thinking that!
It really is too much of a risk to order from online if you don't really know about the fiber beforehand. You're so right about what a difference there can be between brands. And it's such a shame, because as you said, the yarn is often cheaper online...but not worth the risk.
Wow, no, I'd never heard of Ice Yarn! Beautiful stuff. I had no idea there was such
a yarn as antibacterial! I'm not so much of a germaphobe
that I need antibacterial yarn, but it has such nice
colors. What a find! How did you ever hear of
it?
Acrylic can be useful in blends...LOL, for those of us with old washing machines and no wool settings, it can make a superwash wool that doesn't leave us doing hand wash! I've also heard of blends of
cotton and acrylic, as well, which give the cotton some
strength. As much as I love working with cotton,
sometimes it can be so fragile. I once met a designer who made
bead kits with cotton yarn and claimed she'd never had any
breakage. And the cotton yarns were so pretty, but I
wouldn't have used them with beads. Can you imagine
making a big, beautiful project, only to have it fall apart because
the cotton wasn't strong enough?!
Line,
I'm a wool addict (though I don't admit to anything, as I don't have a problem, LOL). You're right...I had no idea that a wool program was actually so decent! I thought people had said not to use it if the machine didn't have one. Thank you for setting me
straight!
Can't wait to see the new hat! That's so true...you really can't make a nice hat for one and not make a nice hat for another. Thank goodness it doesn't work that way with husbands! But then, I don't know that there would be many women who would want two husbands...one is enough of a handful!
Hugs,
Melanie

Welcome!
I know there's
an ongoing problem having to do with colors, so I've alerted Terry
who does our support.
