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!

Ann Benson has a great book on tapestry crochet. I have made many projects with size12 pearl cotton an 11/0 Czech seed beads with beaded crochet, which is very easy. The hardest part is making sure the beginning chain is straight and flat, after that it is simple. There are tutorials on this technique. If you can work a chain and single crochet you will be fine! As for durability, I made a cell phone case which has not come apart after a few years of abuse! I would suggest scanning a simple photo into the pattern wizard and have it charted for beading. The key I came up with had Myuki beads, but you most likely can substitute Czech beads if you can find the colors as they are less expensive and are round as opposed to the Myuki which tend to be more tube shaped although they are the same size. I hope this helps.
Melanie,
I'm not sure about the mixing of the colors.. Not on this specific project.. I'll have to see about that..

It's something like this I wanna make..
Maybe I'll try..
Never make anything in white here either.. o.O Oh the horror when it gets dirty..
White carpeting.. Well.. Some people have enough money.. Just think about the day when you spill coffee on it.. Or worse.. Red wine.. o.O Shriek..

Wendy,
Welcome! 
As you probably
already know the freePatternWizard doesn't generate patterns for
granny squares and I'm not familiar with any program that does.
Perhaps you'd like to use a different stitch?
Micki,
Welcome!
Although
there's really no one-size-fits-all answer for everyone, I always
suggest starting with a small practice project first.
