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!

Hi,
The program will take each image pixel across as a stitch. So if your screen-captured image is 130 pixels across, you'll get 130 stitches.
I'm not exactly sure how you're using Excel to lay out a pattern. Are you using a color fill-in function to fill cells? What are your cell widths?
I just experimented using Excel to create a small 5x5 pattern (5 cells across) and set each cell to a width of 1. I then filled in desired cells with various colors. I filled the empty ones with white to block out the Excel column and row lines. I then did a screen capture and saved it to a file. I found that each Excel cell had an image pixel count of 26 pixels each. So when I ran the image through the PatternWizard, I got a 130-stitch pattern.
I am new here and i am excited to work a few graphgans ideas i have. I am having issues getting the graph to look right. When the graph is generated some of the colors are off from where there are in the picture. I dont know if it is the quality of picture i am using or a setting i need to adjust. Hope all that makes sense.
Annie,
Welcome!
I've alerted Terry (Support) to your question; if you can give us more info about what happened (e.g., did you get an error? Did it go to a different page?), that would be very helpful.
In the meantime, feel free to post pics of your work so we can all drool!
CeLiza,
Welcome!
In crochet, the word charts are only for single crochet or Tunisian. We do have C2C in development at this time, though I can't give you a date of when it will be available.

You're not the first person to mention
using Excel so if you could let me know what you're doing, maybe
there's something I could do in the program to help. It
never was made to interact with Excel but please let me know how
you set up your Excel and I'll think about it.
Terry
Lynn,
Welcome!
I'll have
Terry, who does our site support, get back to you. I can help on
the beading end and with some tech issues, but I'm more from the
crafting end! As I'm unable to specifically
duplicate the problem you're having, he may have more
insight.
