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!

Laura,
Wow, you sure are devoted!
(And I would do exactly the
same!)
Calculating yarn yardage is difficult because there are so many choices. LOL, not that choices are a bad thing, but it's hard to calculate when one person might be using a worsted weight yarn and another might be using a sport weight. Yarns even differ from manufacturer to manufacturer; one worsted weight yarn from one manufacturer may be thicker and another manufacturer's worsted may be thinner. In addition, everyone's gauge will likely be different, even with the same exact fiber, since some crochet loosely and some crochet tighter.
Trying a gauge swatch, if you haven't done one, may be the most helpful thing of all. You can then get exact yardages for your stitches based on the fiber you're using and your own personal stitch gauge.
Meanwhile, I'll discuss the issue with Terry and see if there's some way he can think of that such a feature could be added. It depends on whether or not there's a way to calculate for the different variations, so I don't know if it's at all possible. If it is, we'll add it to the list of features.
I joined the circle, but I can't figure out how to get to the patterns.
I would love to be able to create larger size patterns. When you find the time could you please do this for me.
Thank you kindly

Hi, I am trying to get a pattern done for me that has a stitch count of 150 wide by 180 high.
What do I set the count on to get this count?
150x180
