Hello, I am looking for this pattern. It was created on stitchboard. It is a face with a finger on her lips. It is amazing and I want to crochet. 
Please can you help meLaughing

Chris,
Welcome! Smile
Thank you for your suggestion! Editing tools are already in our plans, but they're not available at this time. I don't have a specific date when they will be.
As for the black & white results, I've been unable to duplicate this issue, so I've notified Terry, who does our site support, about this issue. Smile


Janet,
What an adorable dog! Kiss
For shorter areas of yarn, it's best to wind it onto bobbins. You're right not to want to carry colors over long distances where they aren't used; it's inefficient and would only add to the bulk. And there's really no need to carry it if a particular color isn't used in a huge area.
Bobbins will allow you the freedom of not having to jockey around many colors at once. You can leave the bobbins hanging from the work, out of your way, while you have the freedom to work other areas.
There's another way of working in colors, which someone here (BetwixtTheStitch - Sherry) uses often: cross stitch.
Cross stitch could be used on single crochet for smaller areas. Instead of single crochet, Sherry uses Tunisian as a base and will then cross stitch over that. Single crochet will also work; the particular crochet stitch is a personal choice. Cross stitch allows for a bit more control over where colors go and then you don't have to plan quite so far ahead.


Djernigan,
Welcome! Smile
Thank you so much! Kiss


HI Terry,  Thanks for the help. I didnt know how to repile so i just started and new post . I would love to send you some images. And when i do it i let the program choose my colors but if it gives me too many i do change the color thing from the default 20 to something higher like something in the 100's to start but i have gone all the way up to 500.
