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!

Take a look at this post and see if it helps. It shows how to use different paper sizes in the patternWizard to fit more stitches per page.

Hi Terry, thank you so much fo your answer. Ok, tried with Loom, Herringbone, Brick and Peyote. Herringbone and Brick had colors, however, Loom and Peyote had just black and white. I look forward to your reply. Thank you again. Cheers!! Lynn
Hello,
My name is Jessica and I am very new to knitting, but have been a member for the last couple of years. :-)
I am curious as to weather there are still users here, as it seems the last posts were more than a year ago.
Kathy,
I finally got a chance to digest what you wrote and look at the images you sent.
Both images are more than 4 colors. Here's what one eye looks like when enlarged in Photoshop:
This is the larger mage.
The smaller one enlarged looks like this:
The additional colors would have been introduced somewhere on your end. It might have been done when saving the image. It almost always would also happen when changing the size of an image. If you can, try enlarging the smaller image you sent and see if you get the same thing. I also looked at the larger image and see the same thing.
The PatternWizard is sensitive to all these different shades/colors and along some lines thinks there are green pixels where you want blue. You can see in the image above that the bottom edge of the eye looks like it has green in there.
SO, you may want to see if you have a sharper image that doesn't have the shades when enlarged. Regular line art has sharp lines and you won't need to adjust the sharpness.
Let me also look at it again tomorrow and adjust the image to true 4 colors. I can send that to you to try again.
As for the pdf issue you saw, let me look into it. The pdf I created looked fine. I can tell you that the next version that will be enabled soon has a couple changes to the pdf creation code to make it more compatible with different versions of pdf viewing software.
If the image I create and send solves your color problem (which I think it will) and you still have pdf issues, you can let me know and I'll let you try the upcoming version to see if it's a pdf viewing compatibility issue that gets fixed with the update.
Not sure what time I'll send the image but I will at some point tomorrow (well, actually later today
).

On my beading pdfs, I used to have a full pattern image on the first page which showed what my pattern would look like. In other words, it showed the little squares for individual beads which was helpful to see what my finished pattern would actually look like. Now, when I get my pdf, it is just the jpg image I uploaded. How do I make the pattern image appear on the pdf - I don't know if I accidentally unclicked something.
