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 forgot to mention above that the full size of the resized image is 214 width x 221 high at 144 ppi.
Kathy,
I do have a comment and 2 questions.
First, I always suggest using a pre-sized image that ideally is the number of pixels across that matches the desired number of stitches across. Sending an image that's 4000 pixels across and having the program reduce it to a much smaller figure will certainly introduce unwanted colors. This is just a byproduct of re-sizing. So if you want your pattern to be 300 stitches across, ideally re-size your image to 300 pixels across before sending it to the PatternWizard. This also allows you to be sure the image you send is as clean as possible.
One question is whether you're manually selecting the desired colors. The update I'll be turning on soon corrects a problem relating to manual colors.
My other question is what type of image are you sending to the program? (.jpg, .gif, etc.)

I upgraded to the 300 stitch option, however, it creates a pattern 300x300. I want the pattern to be 300stitches x 265 rows. How is that possible? If it not possible, I have no use for the 300 count and will use a different pattern creater.
