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!

Kyia,
Welcome!
What a beautiful first name you have...so unusual!
How sweet of your grandma to have taught you to crochet. Apparently it was just what the doctor ordered!
And it's wonderful that
you're self-taught on the rest...I'm self-taught, so I can
appreciate your journey. LOL, though I'm so ancient that
not only was the Earth's crust still cooling when I learned, there was no YouTube or
Internet for learning! 
Oh, the
horrors! LOL.
Congrats on getting your first home! Glad you made it through all of the rought times and hoping your move will go happily and smoothly.
Debbie,
Wow, you sound like a seasoned professional...no way have you only been knitting for 1 1/2 to 2 years!
I agree with you about the design features. People can have amazingly different ideas from the very same thing, and it's fun to see ideas sparking more ideas. One of my friends used to do that kind of thing (and probably still does) with his art. He and other artists would get together online, exhange and then work off of each other's pieces...the results would be amazing, as they'd take the work in so many different directions!
Loving the idea of your member gallery. That's going to inspire
many!
It's true...in crafting, newbies can start right away and become proficient almost immediately! Pretty much everything can be
broken down into steps and then the final application is the most
fun of all...bringing imagination to reality!
IMO, that's what makes crafts so interesting...there's always more to learn! I'm a "technique junkie" - I want to know a technique, even if I'll never use it. It usually comes in very handy to have tried it, if for nothing else than having an extra hint of how to do something unrelated at a later date.
Glad you're enjoying our conversations here as much as I am. And here's hoping this will lead to more people learning and developing their own talents!
Neave,
Oh, yeah, because if he did, he wouldn't have been in trouble in the first place!

Eharrise,
Welcome!
Filet crochet
does end up looking almost like a regular crochet graph sans
colors, but in this instance the blocks don't indicate single
stitches, they indicate "closed" filet blocks (of stitches) or
"open" filet blocks, depending. This is the way a normal filet
pattern is represented, as you can see in this neat tutorial for
working in filet:
https://www.crochet.com/learning-center/filet-crochet
If you're looking for a word pattern, we currently have
no option for one in filet, only a graphical
representation.
Currently, filet is only
available in the Premier area. If you'd like to use the regular
freePatternWizard to make filet patterns you certainly may, but
those are keyed to make rectangular patterns (since single crochet
stitches are rectangular) and not specifically square filet block
patterns, so the results may not have the aspect ratio you want and
the finished work may end up looking skewed or wonky.
Hope that helps!
