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!

My apologies, can you please clarify what a "single Sri" is? I'm pretty dense and completely lost here.
I would also like to be upgraded. I love this site and even more so, that it's at no cost. Thank you!
the colors look great in the picture... green-teal, tomato-tomahto!
Janice,
Meh, it's like riding a bike...you never forget how to crochet!
I don't think it's presumptuous at all to want to change patterns around. It is all math, so as long as you can work out the numbers, that's what counts!
I understand about the holes in the pattern being too large...perhaps they could be filled with a lacy pattern, as you said, or maybe even some pretty shells? Or flowers would be interesting.
I did some exhaustive searching for that oval pattern (yet another gorgeous one!), but the only matches I could find were all on Russian sites and (from what I could glean from the Google translations) were either for kits, videos (ha, in Russian? Sigh) or the finished rug. Pay in rubles! LOL.
Also, if I had to hazard a guess, they're using a published pattern, perhaps a Patricia Kristoffersen, to make these kits/videos/sell the finished rugs. The reason I say that is because the first Kristoffersen was also on that site, which has me believing it's pretty much the same thing.
Couldn't just about any doily be used for a rug? I love the idea of using them as wall hangings, and I'd have to think that just looking at designs available online would yield plenty of options.
Interesting...take a look at that linked video again...I swear the "Pineapple Oval" (PK 55 at :55 on the video) starts out almost exactly like the pic above! So I do wonder now if that particular pattern isn't one of Kristoffersen's, and that Russian site has simply used it, figuring nobody would know where they got it? And in addition to that, considering Kristoffersen only seems to have books for sale, not electronic patterns, that would make her work even more obscure and subject to copying.
What makes me think it's one of Kristoffersen's is because the other one was also pictured on that same Russian site. And it looks kind of like a Patricia Kristoffersen design.
If you're getting three of her books, perhaps there's a chance the oval design is in one of them? If not, I bet you'll find plenty of other designs that will be suitable for rugs!
LOL, so you're going to live to be 200, too, hmm?

Asedai,
Welcome!
When you read a
word pattern that has been made by the freePatternWizard, you don't
need to reverse rows; the software reverses every other row for
you.
The picture
graph vs the word pattern is a personal choice. Some find the word
pattern easier to follow; others prefer the graph. If you find
you're struggling with the word pattern, you may find the graph
easier to follow.
What kind of problem are
you having? Is it that your colors aren't lining up? Are the counts
off because the rows aren't all adding up the same? Have you
sampled a few rows to see that the numbers all add up? (In case
some new issue has cropped up and we don't yet know about
it!)
Hope that helps!
