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!

Thank you for your concern but I think I'll follow my own heart. I'm simply not interested in doing it any way than what I'm already doing.
I've recently just made a graphgan pattern on here and also got the part where it says what to do on each row, so a written one. My question is, when reading the written part and I work the first row right to left, do I flip my work and start row 2, working right to left again? And just continue flipping my work and doing each row as it says?
Thanks for all the help/advice you can give!

Line,
Hahahaha, I was referring to the laser one, so I like your ultra technical term, "laser measuring thingy."
It at least gets to the
point! Who cares about those fancy terms, right?
LOL! Glad you two have a communication system set up that works well!
I don't generally ask for things, but I do bargain. For instance, hubby wants me to hem his pants. So I contacted a dry cleaner in the area and asked for their price. He'll pay me that much. Honestly, I despise hemming pants...but for a money, I'll do it.
Better in my pocket than
someone else's if it's something I can do!
Those vases are really cute! You and he apparently have
lovely taste. The statue looks nice and
fits right in! That clock built into the wall is
interesting, too. Did you do that, or was it already
there?
What we used to do (and still occasionally do) is make lists of what we like for the other person to choose from. So sometimes we'll go off of the list and try something interesting. Luckily, the times I've gone off of his list, he's been pleased. He usually likes hardware store crap, tools, blah, blah, blah. I don't know what some of it is (and some I do), but as long as he defines what he wants, I can do pretty well.
One time I went off of his list and got him a thing for working under cars, called a "creeper." It's a slightly padded thing with wheels that makes it more comfortable than simply laying on the ground. He loved that, said he'd never have thought of it in the first place, nor would he have bought it for himself. I was so happy to get him something useful that could make his life easier.
He's gone off of my list to get me things like beading tools. And some of that stuff is available at the hardware store!
Gotta love the convenience,
huh?!
I posted four FREE knitting patterns for Kindle for today...grab them before they're 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.)

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.
