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!

Hello!! New to this site but have been stitching for years
Ava,
The Basic Palette is the one I suspect you'll want. Unless you're looking for a certain brand, such as Red Heart Super Saver, the Basic Palette is what you'll find has all of the very basic colors. Brands of yarn will have their own color names. This is why we developed the Basic Palette, because yarn is very difficult to match to specific colors, and even going across brands, which usually isn't recommended due to differences in yarn weights and differences in fibers (e.g., you wouldn't want to use fibers that require different types of care in one project!), you'll be hard pressed to find matching colors beyond the basics.
The Full Palette isn't recommended at all.
DMC is embroidery floss. While there are some who use embroidery floss to crochet, it's a very small fiber and difficult to work with, so though DMC has many color matches compared to conventional yarns, it's not recommended for crochet.
This free bonus has now closed. No one took me up on my offer, and I have uploaded the corrected pattern.
I don't have any pics of stuff I've already done - I gave them away as gifts ... but I'm tinkering with the idea of creating some dishcloth patterns for the loom to share with others. I don't know when I'll be able to get to this, but it's something I've been seriously considering.
When I'm ready to go with this, I'll talk to the people in the looming circle{s} to see what they would be best interested in ... cloths with pics or different stitch patterns. If we follow a theme, these can then be made into blankets. Just a thought.

Jess,
Welcome!
At this point
in time, there is no editing function. This will be available in a
later version of the software, but I'm sorry to say I don't have a
specific time for when that will happen.
