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!

Hi.
In the next version of updated software I changed the color of the grid however, I think I'll do two additional things.
On black and white charts, I'll set it to use non-black or white grid lines.
And I think maybe I'll also allow you to manually change grid line colors.
Internally, the software supports changing grid colors and also styles. I was thinking of not only allowing color selection but also possibly line style, like maybe solid lines, dashed lines, dotted lines, etc. Anything that would make them stand out.
But I agree this has been an area that needs attention. I'm just coming back to finishing the next update. I'll also be back to program development again in a few weeks.
So if you can hang in there for a week or so, I'll try to have this in the next update.

Hi,
I'll should have an updated version in the next few days. I've already fixed 4 problems and have about 5 to go. Color selection, especially when you manually choose them is a known issue.

Aabye,
Glad you've picked the project back up. I have so many unfinished projects lying about. So you are welcome for that.
I am really enjoying doing the graphghans. They can be nerve wracking with all these bobbins and color changes - goodness but I am so excited to see how it all turns out.
I think you should definately try one, it is fun watching the picture develope.

Secoya,
LOL, I know you're not
exaggerating, because I suffer from the same addiction
disease!
Your friend
is apparently a genius! Ha, I think of all of the problems I could
have avoided...and didn't...because I didn't read the instructions
first.
Memah,
Welcome!
The color
number is the number from the palette you've chosen. If you've
chosen Red Heart Super Saver, that's the color number designated
for each color in your palette. The count is how many stitches you
have in a particular color. We don't give actual numbers of balls
of wool because it's impossible to know in advance. That number
depends on your chosen hook, your chosen fiber and finally, your
tension or gauge. All of that information together makes every
project as unique as you are!
In order to
figure out your tension or gauge, you must make something called a
gauge swatch. And most people hate doing them (yes, I do, too). But
they're necessary to know things so you can calculate not just
yardage, but also the finished size of your project.
Once you've made a gauge swatch, this link may be
helpful in figuring out yardage so you know how much wool to buy.

Hope that helps!
