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!

Roxane,
Welcome!
Isn't it wonderful finding new things to learn? It's why I'm so addicted to YouTube videos...just about any stitch you'd want to master is there!
The graphghan for your husband sounds wonderful! Does he know about it, or will it be a surprise gift?
It worked wonderfully. Thank you so much.

Sherry,
Thanks so much for the great input!
I've had the trouble you mentioned with the Simply Soft. I've never used it for a graphghan, but for other projects, there were some issues with weaving tails. It's also a bit thinner so I've had to use a larger hook (or needles) to get the right gauge, as well (which can make it too loose or lacy), and it's too soft to use for some stitch patterns, as it doesn't really hold up to them. I've used it for baby blankets in the past, and for that it worked quite well.
Red Heart is what I hear about from a lot of people, due to the number of colors and easy availability.
Nicky,
She really is talented...LOL, is there anything creative she can't do? Because I don't think so!
Can't wait until she's back...but in tip-top health, of course!
Neave,
Absolutely! People always act as if the family is somehow "sacred." There's nothing sacred about family. Family can be the most toxic people of all.
