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!

I've just generated a pattern with the generator (so cool!) but I'm struggling with fair isle knitting. I'm trying to make a scarf in 3 colors but I'm getting a lot of bunching and can't get it all to lie flat. I feel like I'm most successful holding two colors continental and the third, less used color, in my right hand, but it's still happening. Hints? Good videos to watch? Help!!!
After you make a pattern is there a way to edit the graph
Having a choice of grid color might work. Don't know what happened to my message. I was out camping and sent it from my phone. But I would like to see if a lighter grid color would work. Thanks

Lauren,
A half cross stitch is
basically working your stitches only one way, instead of returning
and working the second slants over them to turn them into the X
shape. So half cross stitches end up looking kind of like
this:
/ / / / / / /
only they'll be a little different, as these slashes are
a font and not a stitch, so they're not being stitched on squares,
LOL.
I agree, Shaleigh's project looks
totally amazing! 
Janet,
Welcome! 
The only way to
determine this is to make a gauge swatch with the hook and yarn you
plan to use. The gauge swatch will be unique to you and your
materials.
When you know your gauge you'll
know how many stitches per inch you'll need. Then you can take your
image and resize it to the number of pixels across to represent the
number of stitches across, where pixels = stitches.
While you can't set the number of rows with the
freePatternWizard, you can make your image the approximate number
of rows. In a future version you'll be able to give it a specific
number, but as of this time the best and only way to do this is
with your image.
Don't feel bad if you're
not a fan of gauge swatches...I only know of one person who likes
making them...the rest of us aren't very happy with the process!
