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 am looking for input from Stitchboard members as to what types of stitch patterns they are interested in having charted.
I am also looking for charts which members would like to have decoded.
Please try to select charts which are free so that everyone can access them and participate. Thank you!
I will sort through the requested materials by complexity, and then prepare additional tutorials from them.
Thanks!
Neave,
That's so sad...but definitely not surprising. I'm amazed that the majority of the employees at the local Walmart can be nice and cheerful after all of the crap they put up with. It's so unfair. The money isn't very good and they have no choice.
Lisa,
Goodness, I can completely understand how hard it is to count and write patterns by hand! I did that pre-computers...ouch, you're not kidding about eyestrain!
As for your questions:
1) You've been upgraded!
2) Please let me know if I'm understanding your question correctly. You've taken a png of the output of a stitching program - an already-created graph - and used that as a basis for creating a pattern? If that's correct, the answer is actually simpler than that...all you need to do is take your original image and run that through the freePatternWizard. That will get you the most optimal result. In other words, this lets the program do the work for you, rather than using another program first to do the work. Now, you'll still likely have to experiment a bit to figure out the length of your pattern (you can only enter a width, because if you were to designate a length, too, it would skew your pattern), but that can be done in a graphics program by adding borders.
We do have plans to add some editing functions, which may or may not help with what you're doing, but those are not available at this time.
Hope that helps! Let me know how sending the original image through works for you...it may even work out that you don't need to add borders, but that depends on your image and isn't something I can really say.

Pokedexter,
Welcome! So glad you find our site
useful!
No worries, the artwork box is not
functional for anyone and hasn't been for a while now, so you
didn't do anything at all wrong.
Fluffball (great name!),
Welcome!
No worries,
you're not doing anything wrong. The Artwork function hasn't been
available. I'm sorry to say I don't have a time frame for when it
will be available.
