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

You are welcome. Happy stitching! Smiley

Ah, yes. I love her "Lavender and Lace" patterns, they are captivating. My favorites are the Celtic ladies and "Country Fair".  I have a whole collection of them. I am very sorry to hear of her passing, she was quite a talented designer.

Val,

Welcome! Smile

I can understand your confusion! When I learned to crochet many years ago, charts weren't the norm as they are today. So I just never learned them, either, though I wish I had. Frown

I did a search and found this; I hope it's helpful for you:

This is where I personally would start if I wanted to read this (or any) chart. Smile

Hope this helps! Smile

Hi all!  Just found out about this site from a member of Crochet Helpers over on Facebook.  I would like to spend ALL my time crafting, but, alas, am too cheap to even think of a housekeeper.  I'm 57, my husband is retired (boy, is that a lifestyle change!), and we live out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.  We spent most of our married life in Georgia and Germany.  We have 2 grown ups, Samantha and Scott, and 4 grandchildren, who are all too far away!  Two spoiled dogs and one doted on cat! 
I'm a lefty, knit to the "wrong" needle, and crochet in the wrong direction.  It usually works out fine but I have to reverse some instructions.
I like to knit, crochet, and spin.  I also sew and quilt.  I'm excited to start machine knitting on a very old Studio 303 with ribber.  That's a whole new world for me.
I've also done a lot of rug hooking with wool strips and like to play with dyes.  Excited to try your pattern wizard and meet other craft junkies!
