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! I just joined and am looking forward to the info and other features here. I have been cross stitching for years but never tried to make my own patter, so I am excited to try that!
Hi crochet crafty people. I'm Andrea. I love the flexibility of crochet. You really can make anything with hook and yarn.
The colors are listed with what I assume is the number for the color needed. Is the number below that how many skeins of that color you need?
Piddy,
As long as you send the pattern through correctly, it shouldn't be out of proportion. In other words, if you send the pattern in vertically and then work it horizontally, it will be out of proportion because crochet stitches (e.g., single crochet stitches) are wide, not high.
If you send it through horizontally, then your stitches will be wide and can be worked horizontally.
The program isn't really concerned with how you send your image through, because it doesn't understand the difference between working your piece in "portrait" or "landscape" mode; it's up to you to be sure you send it in a way that will give it the proper aspect ratio so your stitches aren't skewed.
No worries, you're not a bother...thanks for asking, because any questions you have, others undoubtedly also have!
We don't currently support stitches other than single crochet, Tunisian and filet crochet. We'll be adding others, but at this time we don't have extended single crochet.
I would say extended single crochet would be very likely to elongate your stitches to the point where they would skew your pattern. You could try this with a single letter, make one swatch with the letter in sc, then make another swatch with the same letter in extended sc. You should choose a letter that would show clearly what effect the extended single crochet stitch would have on it. A letter "I," for instance, probably would look fairly normal, perhaps just a tiny bit longer, so that one wouldn't give conclusive results.
We'll definitely be adding more stitches in the future...I'll suggest we place a higher priority on that, which is what we do with our more popular requested features. With over 100 features planned, it's going to take some time, so we try to prioritize what people are requesting.
