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!

Molly,
I checked with Terry and
the bottom of the page under floss listings is actually important
because it's more than just a listing; it gets calculated for each
different size of paper. So to add more notes underneath could
interfere with printing.
Sherry,
Thank you so much for
posting these pics! 
The clothespins are absolutely
brilliant!
The clothespins are absolutely
brilliant! Either way, I
think both pieces look amazing. And the unicorn cross stitch pops!
Myslyn,
Hi, I apologize for the
misunderstanding...the freePatternWizard actually doesn't create
garment patterns. What it does is takes your photos or artwork
that's in digital form and turns them into grids for use for
graphghans and such. Unfortunately, I don't know of any software
currently available that will make patterns for
garments.
MStanley,
Welcome! 
At this time we
support only certain stitches such as single crochet, Tunisian and
filet crochet. In the future we'll be adding other stitches. In the
meantime, the problem with single crochet to half double crochet
would make it a very different size of stitch. Depending on your
gauge, you could end up with a very distorted piece. It's not the
width of the stitches that's the problem...it's the height. While
your stitch width would likely remain the same (unless you were to
switch to a different yarn or hook than what you've been using),
the height of your stitch will be more elongated, as a half double
crochet is taller than a single crochet. I don't remember offhand,
but I want to say a half double for me is about 1 1/2 times the
height of a single crochet. It's not a lot, but it's just enough to
throw it off.
With more elongated stitches,
your graph for a single crochet will end up with fewer rows per
inch, meaning your entire piece will be elongated. If you're
working with something that isn't critical to remaining true to how
long the stitches are, you'll be okay, but in most cases, I'd say
your finished item will be longer than anticipated and the longer
stitches may look wonky.
I wish there were
more of a direct correlation, but while the width of the different
stitches are usually the same, the height is usually different.
Teaminstinct,
Sounds like a fun
game!
You're so welcome! If it's a matter of
not having a graphics program, I can suggest two powerful (free!)
programs you can download for the PC.
