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!

Another work-in-progress from one of my favorite designers.
I have a bunad (Norwegian traditional dress) that came without a purse. To buy one would be $100, which is how much the bunad cost itself! The purses traditionally have embroidered designs on them, so I decided to stitch this and make my own purse out of it. The bunad has mainly blue/purple tones, so i decided to stitch it on a piece of perfectly sized navy blue 14 count Aida, which was a great choice because the colors really pop! It has gotten pretty wrinkled, just from traveling, but I will iron it (on the wrong side!) before finishing it and turning it into a purse. My stitching is pretty uneven because this is my first time working on a dark fabric, even though it is 14 count Aida, my go-to choice that has always been good to me. I t could be that my top stitches are facing to the right ( / ) and I think it looks beeter facing left. Does anyone know if this really matters?
Anyway, I love how this is turning out so far, and I will update it when I make progress.
This picture is on it's side, the actual project is roatated 90°, I do not know why it was flipped when I posted it.
Hi.
There are times that the program will not use one or more of the colors you choose if others selected are closer to certain colors in the image.
A simplified example would be if you send it a pattern with only black, white, red, and green, and tell it to use red, green, and blue, it would probably turn the black into blue, white possibly red, green or blue, red would probably be red, and green would probably be green. If you're working with line art like a logo, it's easier to manually select colors to use. Photos are more difficult.
Actually I just ran this example and it turned black into green, white into blue, and did match the other colors. Apparently the green I selected is closer in color and brightness than blue to the black in the image. And apparently the blue I selected is closest to the white in the image.
As far as introducing a non-selected color, I'm about to make a change to the program that might take care of this. It sometimes tends to happen when the original image does not have black and/or white. When it does happen, it usually adds a gray. I'll post again when I make the update relating to this.

This is my latest project, this block is the Green Lantern emblem.
Of course this one is Wonder Woman.
I have 2 more blocks to go for this piece, Flash and Green Arrow. I'm working it in tunisian knit with Caron One Pound acrylic yarn.
I am in a bit of a bind. As I was laying down my ten stitch blanket pattern to see how long it was, making it into a lap afghan. I noticed that the sides are curving quite a bit. I was hoping to get some advice as to block it or not to block it. I have never blocked a thing in my life so I would you block this or not. I am planning on putting a another round on this but other than that its as far as it will go.

Secoya,
April turned out divine!
I don't think it matters one bit that
it's not more of an egg shape...I think it's unique and wonderful.
This is the kind of thing I do, make something my own, even if it's
not "conventional." Besides, if you're making it for you, you have
every right to do something that you like best!

every right to do something that you like best! Can I ask you
for a big favor, though? If you edit the top message to add your
picture, can you also create a new reply message, also with the new
picture? If you only edit, nobody really knows you posted anything,
but if you add a new message then the category will light up with a
"NEW." And I want people to see your beautiful work
every time!
