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!  Laughing

Great info, thanks! Kiss
Okay, as far as the rose image is concerned, did you put it through as pixels=squares? The freePatternWizard unfortunately isn't a graphics program, so if you're putting through something that's, for example, 800 pixels wide and trying to bring it down to 100, it's going to fail because it doesn't know what you'd want to keep, so it will choose arbitrarily.
If my math is correct (PLEASE check!) the scarf should be 40 blocks wide. Is your pattern 40 pixels=40 blocks?
As for the curtain, if my math is correct (again, PLEASE check!) it's 57 blocks wide. Is the problem that you're finding it hard to reduce the original repeating pattern down to 57 blocks?
Also note that if you're reducing/resizing a jpg that will likely introduce odd pixels that will make the finished image less than desirable. Unfortunately, a jpg is what's considered a "lossy" image because it does lose definition, unlike a more stable and defined image like a gif. But I know some images you just can't find as gifs and changing an image from a jpg to a gif won't be the same. Cry It would be nice if it worked that way, sigh.
I hope all of this helps. Kiss


Pearllex,

You're so welcome! Smile

Here are the links to the graphics programs:
* First, there's GIMP, available here: https://www.gimp.org/

* And then there's paint.net, available here: https://www.getpaint.net/

I don't know how to use them, unfortunately...I'm still using a version of Paint Shop Pro from...gulp...1998! Surprised

Suzieq,

Welcome! Smile

The option definitely hasn't been removed. What do you show as your options in the pulldown for #7 where it says: "Pattern or Word Chart:"? It should say:
Graph Only
Word Chart Only
Graph and Word Chart

Hello, does it cost anything to subscribe to premium?

Neave,

Absolutely.  Frown  It's so disparaging.  There's no such thing as doing something for the greater good by those who are "haves" as opposed to "have nots."  It's all about whatever they want and then find excuses for why it's okay.  Yell
