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!

I got this book as a birthday present years ago and it is now on a prized shelf in my cross stitch library. I has a lot of floral patterns, borders, samplers, and articles, and the charts are clear and easy to read with symbols and sometimes colors, if needed. A notable section is the one that has a history of antique samplers and how cross stitch started, and they have turned three antique samplers into stitchable patterns. At the end, there are instrutions on stitching, fabric counts, finishing, and material. Most of the patterns use DMC and Anchor floss. This is a good basic book, pretty general in terms of designs, it has mostly traditional ones. But they are very nice.
Welcome!
We don't offer C2C as a feature at this time, as it's currently in development. Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame as to when it will become available, but please keep watching for it!
Hi,
I'll should have an updated version in the next few days. I've already fixed 4 problems and have about 5 to go. Color selection, especially when you manually choose them is a known issue.

Hi all.
I'm new here and a baby in the crochet world.
I live in Suriname. That's in South America. My main language is Dutch.
But i taught myself crochet in English through YouTube.
I'm 37, married and have a son.
Becky,
Welcome!
So glad you posted on this issue, and I hope we'll get some thoughts on it soon! This is so great to work it out so all possible options are available in the Free Pattern Wizard!
My guess is the different Tunisian stitches have different measurements. For instance, I know Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS) is a very short stitch...at least that's my grasp of why it curls so badly and is very, very tight when crocheted row after row (and it takes forever, LOL!).
It may be that there are different Tunisian stitches that work different ways...some may be taller vertically or wider horizontally.
This is such a great discussion to have!
Sherry (BetwixtTheStitch) is our resident expert on Tunisian, so I can't wait to hear her thoughts on this!
