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!

I am a Premier member, is there a way to print out the written instructions for my graphs? I am using the Filet crochet feature, but when I want to see the graph, it looks exactly like a regular crochet graph. Am I missing something or maybe joining the Premier was not what I expected.
Hi, I've just joined and I'm from Scotland. Been crocheting a few years now but haven't done for a while. Looking forward to getting new ideasbetc x
Line,
I think you must buy two new cones! On the practical side, you don't want to get to the end of your pattern and not have enough yarn.
And of course you can never get enough yarn!
You could also use two different colors if you like to combine colors.
Hugs,
Melanie
Thank you for the explanation.

Ksulliv,
Sorry, I think I said
that wrong! 
What I
meant is that if it's a small enough piece, you might be able to
get away with knitting it as is, even though your stitches will be
rectangular while the cross stitch chart has square
stitches.
But over a larger piece it will
become more obvious. So it depends on how large your chart is, and
then there's no rule of how big is too big. It's unfortunately just
plain old trial and error. 
A Chewbacca
pattern would be more difficult than, say, something abstract,
because if it's abstract you wouldn't notice the skewing. But with
something as recognizable as Chewbacca, that's hard to predict.
