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!

Excuses zijn niet nodig. Ik vond het ook moeilijk te omschrijven wat ik precies bedoelde.Maar ik weet het nu.
Ik weet dat er uit een streng garen ongeveer 1500 a 1600 kruisjes gemaakt kunnen worden met 2 draadjes.
Aan de hand van het aantal kruisjes wat onder "count" staat weet ik nu hoeveel strengen ik ongeveer nodig ben van elke kleur
Mijn hartelijk dank voor uw geduld, uitleg en beantwoorden van mijn "probleem".
Ik kan beginnen.
Hartelijke groet,Henny Aly
I mainly write fiction-fantasy and sci-fi, but leaning more toward fantasy. The books I have published are vampire themed though...lol. LOVE it that I have met another geek so soon!!! Once I get past the background and into the picture part of them I will post them in the WIP. I am so glad to be here and thank you for the warm welcome!!
Hi Melanie,
Your shift work you did sounded quite frustrating. I am not a phone person, don't like to talk on them and use mine mainly as my portable internet instead. If my tablet had phone availability I would do away with the phone itself.
I hate weaving ends in too. The vulture tapestry I have not used the end tuck method throughout it. Instead I tie the new thread to the old one, slip the ends close and continue away. Since it will have a suede backing attached to it and is a wall hanging I know it will not have extra stress on it and should never coem apart like a bracelt or something used daily would. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do with this particular piece excet tuck all warp threads in and hide them. I used Fireline for the warp which I will not do again for one this large. I prefer the Nymo so it can be tightened as neede once started. The Fireline does not have much give beyond the initial tightening and as the beads are worked in and it needs adjusting it has broke 3 threads I ahd to repair with beading in place. Was not a feat I enjoyed, but nmanaged it to the best of my ability. The edges were not as smooth going from side to side as I like on my loom work, but usiong the springs provided with the Mirrix loom it is hard to set them and keep them spread apart like I prefer. I will remodel this loom and change the springs for threaded bars next tiem I use it for bead work. Some folks don't like threaded bars, but for me the warps stay in place and can be tightened better. The spring for me kept stretching and sagging. I have it tied & held down in a way the Miorrix company would gasp from horror if they saw it!
The square stitch method I developed for my own beading in the early years and picking up a line at a tiem of beads did require learning just how much slack to give the line so as I sewed each 2 bead section into the next it took up the slack and came out with all gone once at the end of the line. Given soem beads , especially back then were not uniform and the slack allowed for that and kept the piece from buckling. It's kinda' not a way to bead I think a person would pick up on if not shown in person how to judge the slack. When my son was a teen he learned and did nice work. He just never continued with his craft work. Back then he learned to crochet, sew, bead and cross stitch. It was fun teaching him to do those things since I didn't have a daughter to spend time with.
Hi all.
I'm new here and a baby in the crochet world
.
I live in Suriname. That's in South America. My main language is Dutch.
But i taught myself crochet in English through YouTube.
I'm 37, married and have a son.
Hi.
We've had other requests to support Excel spreadsheets.
My thought is to add the ability to import (read) and export (write) .csv files.
The .csv files are comma-delimited files that can be read or written by a number of spreadsheet programs, including Excel.
We'll begin discussing what would be best and I do expect to add this once the new version of software is up and running.
In the meantime, feel free to give us feedback, requests, and suggestions!
Terry
