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 have been using your pattern creator but on the print outs for example it states:
ROW 1: (150) white
ROW 1 (return) (150) white
can you please let me know if this is stated as for 2 rows I dont quiet understand the explanation, and also does all the pattern come out on a single or double crochet
How can I get upgraded to get to make bigger patterns?
Janice,
Meh, it's like riding a bike...you never forget how to crochet!
I don't think it's presumptuous at all to want to change patterns around. It is all math, so as long as you can work out the numbers, that's what counts!
I understand about the holes in the pattern being too large...perhaps they could be filled with a lacy pattern, as you said, or maybe even some pretty shells? Or flowers would be interesting.
I did some exhaustive searching for that oval pattern (yet another gorgeous one!), but the only matches I could find were all on Russian sites and (from what I could glean from the Google translations) were either for kits, videos (ha, in Russian? Sigh) or the finished rug. Pay in rubles! LOL.
Also, if I had to hazard a guess, they're using a published pattern, perhaps a Patricia Kristoffersen, to make these kits/videos/sell the finished rugs. The reason I say that is because the first Kristoffersen was also on that site, which has me believing it's pretty much the same thing.
Couldn't just about any doily be used for a rug? I love the idea of using them as wall hangings, and I'd have to think that just looking at designs available online would yield plenty of options.
Interesting...take a look at that linked video again...I swear the "Pineapple Oval" (PK 55 at :55 on the video) starts out almost exactly like the pic above! So I do wonder now if that particular pattern isn't one of Kristoffersen's, and that Russian site has simply used it, figuring nobody would know where they got it? And in addition to that, considering Kristoffersen only seems to have books for sale, not electronic patterns, that would make her work even more obscure and subject to copying.
What makes me think it's one of Kristoffersen's is because the other one was also pictured on that same Russian site. And it looks kind of like a Patricia Kristoffersen design.
If you're getting three of her books, perhaps there's a chance the oval design is in one of them? If not, I bet you'll find plenty of other designs that will be suitable for rugs!
LOL, so you're going to live to be 200, too, hmm?
Terry,
The 10 stitch lines aren't always noticeable depending on colors/symbols in the pattern.
But a blank column or row would make it so much easier when counting stitches. I understand it takes up space, but it could be narrower than the regular stitch cells.
Thanks,
Janice
I posted one FREE cross stitch pattern for Kindle for today...grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)
