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!

Can I add a picture to this thread? Although the progress is slow, I'm about 65 rows into my portrait project and would like to share it. Perhaps I can add a photo...... I'll try it.
bkrizo,
Welcome!
The freePatternWizard will adjust the length of any image you give it to keep your pattern's image from skewing. Also: the crochet stitch (or knit stitch) is unlikely to be perfectly square. If you're attempting to make a 60 x 60 pillow, it probably will be shorter in one direction than another, depending on the stitch you're using.
You could experiment by adding borders to your image (using a graphics program) and seeing if you can get more optimal results that way, where the program makes the pattern longer or wider, though it's doubtful with a rectangular stitch that you're going to have something exactly 60 x 60 stitches.
Neave,
And you sure don't deserve it!

Alli,
Welcome! So glad you found us - it's so nice to
meet you, too!
How cool that
your aunt taught you to cross stitch. It's really wonderful when crafts get
handed down through the generations.
Tinytums,
Welcome!
We go by file
size, rather than image size. The limit is a 5M image
file.
