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!)

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!  Laughing

Something I really enjoy about posting these updates.  Both weeks I have thought that I didn't get that much done. But looking at the picture from the previous week helps show that no, there are a fair few new stitches here.
This week I got to work on big batches of solid colour, mainly the grape cape, which is what it's now officially called. As my dayjob was kind of hectic, then working on the rows of solid colours was really nice. A bit less planning needed to make sure I can keep going with the same thread for as long as possible.
I am a huge fan of purple too, but as on the picture the cape is more red then I was wondering how it turns out. But really, as long as the different tones in the cape look good together and I dont have a print-out of the original image next to it, who will know that the cape is a bit more purple than it was intended?
The light was not great for the pictures today. Next week I might try to take the pictures during daylight, so you get a better idea of the colours.


Hello. Totally new to stitchboard, and love the possiblities that come with this graph generator. I just wondered if someone might be able to clarify for me please... the stitch required when doing a crocheted afgan would be single crochet stitch, yeah? 

I also wondered if you could clarify for me also, that the 'count' on the generated colour palette refers to how many stitches of that particular colour, yeah?

I am pretty sure that the answers to both question as yes, but really want to make sure before I go and start on my design. I look forward to any and all replies.

Thanks kindly

Hello everyone. It is such a pleasure to be here. Thank you all for allowing me to join your community.
I have been crocheting for about 10 years now. I am constantly learning new stitches and techniques. This craft is amazing and fun to do. I look forward to chatting with you all.

I also would like to thank the creators of this site. It is absolutely fantastic. So see you all around. Again you have my gratitude for accepting me into your community.

Babs,
Welcome! Smile I love Canada...such a gorgeous place with lovely people! Kiss
Feel free to post pics of your work so we can drool! Wink


Hi, Terry,

Great, had missed that post you made back then about the subject.

All is fine then.

Thank you
