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 All,
I am very new to this site. I am trying to create a picture of my husband and our two dogs and was hoping you could help answer a few questions for me:
What is the difference between the 4 color palettes mentioned?
Once I finalize project, how do I order the threads?
How do you know how many threads to use?
I am looking to make probably a standard size piece of paper as a picture, will 150 stitches be enough?
Thanks in advance!
Lauren
Robin,
It's the tunisian simple stitch, aka afghan stitch. The back of all tunisian looks like that, some looks nice and neat like your sample, sometimes it's bulkier and doesn't quite look so nice. It depends on the thickness of your yarn, and the size hook you use.
I can get the same look with Deborah Norville Everyday and an 8 mm hook, however if I use a little bit thicker yarn, like Caron One Pound and the 8 mm, I get the bumpier look on the back.
Hope that helps
Hello, I just signed up today and I'm having fun with the program. A few questions, is there an option to get a written pattern for knitting? I only see that option coming up with crocheting.
Also, it seems that when the program crops from about 180 stitches to 150 it also crops off some of the colors, is there a way to fix that, other than buying the premiere edition. I don't mind paying, and I don't mind my pattern being 150 stitches, but I don't like that it changes the image when it does crop it.
Thank you!!
Iddirisu,
Welcome!
At this time we don't have a way of converting a graph that wasn't made with the freePatternWizard to a written pattern. Currently, if you create a crochet or illusion knitting graph with the freePatternWizard, you can make a word chart, so if you still have your original image, perhaps you'd be best off running it through the freePatternWizard to get your new graph and word chart. Then you can disregard your current chart.

Secoya,
You're so welcome!
Okay, because
what I can hopefully get is a 15x18 piece of white 14 count aida.
Nothing else is available. I agree, 18 count would be
better.
The floss is another issue. I just
don't know how I can get it. Michaels is closed altogether and we
lost our JoAnn's a few years ago, which I know is doing curbside
pickup...but no help there, since there's no longer a store.
Ordering from DMC will likely be too delayed to work, which is why
I was hoping to get it locally in the first place, not to mention
the DMC prices are substantially higher than they are locally, even
at the most expensive shop. So frustrating! 
I'm not giving up
yet, just trying to figure something out.
