Hello. Totally new to stitchboard, and love the possiblities that come with this graph generator. I just wondered if someone might be able to clarify for me please... the stitch required when doing a crocheted afgan would be single crochet stitch, yeah?
I also wondered if you could clarify for me also, that the 'count' on the generated colour palette refers to how many stitches of that particular colour, yeah?
I am pretty sure that the answers to both question as yes, but really want to make sure before I go and start on my design. I look forward to any and all replies.
Thanks kindly
Distantxdream,
I'm not certain that your error 500 was caused by the problem I just fixed. Please let me know if you still get the error and possibly what you were trying to do at the time.
Thanks.

Thanks Melanie,
To tell the truth I can't exactly remember how I stitched the edges of the two pieces to keep it from unraveling. I'm thinking I did small tufts of fringe together and did a whip stitch in the off white color of the material between the tufts. It was 16 yrs ago, I did it all by hand with needle and thread, no machine stitching since I was on the truck. Personally I hate to sew by machine even for a simple repair of a seam in clothing.
I wished I could see the edges better
and then it would come to me. These photos are all I have of the
work. If I remember at some point I will let you know, sorry my
memory is not so good anymore. I've never used a professional
framer before. On the few I did put in a frame & it was not
many I did the work myself. And I am by no way a professional at
framing anything! I read your post about framing your own pieces
and thought back to when I did that too.
I'm going to attemp a couple of Koi fish and a lotus blossom or 2 to add background for my 1st Chinese slik embroidery. I'm thinking about working with my satin thread to practice on something first before I use the silk once it gets here. I figured that way I won't waste the silk if I make an awful mess until I learn how to create a decent piece.
Oh I don't think I am anywhere near ready to create my own patterns yet. I have created a few of my own beading patterns for my use and on one of the beading groups on Facebook I belong to I added the pdf file for anyone to use if they so desired. Some said they would make something from them, but so far I have not heard or seen anything come of it. I didn't think they would, but it is fine as they are still my creations either way.
Melanie,
Sorry that they smell like mold..
But try vinegar... I hope it works..
If I'm able to visit you someday, I will bring you a lot of danish stuff (lot's of rodalon).. :p And yarn - in pretty colors..
Let me see if I can find pink legos.. I'm sure they still make them
Gold and silver ones too..
I'll send them for you if I find them..
Just had the most frustrating discussion with the asshat yesterday.. I have never cried so much over him than I did yesterday.. F****** asshat..
Anyhow.. My oldest (whose birthday is on the 11th this month), wants to have a pirate themed birthday party... He tells me this, 9 days before we are actually going to celebrate him.. :p LOL.. Talk about stress.. Furthermore, he only have three (3!!!!!) whishes.. Gotta be creative.. He want's a new knitted sweater (no chance in hell that is going to happen in such short time), he wants lego ninjagos.. And something I'm not even sure exists.. :p LOL
I was thinking about making some straws with skulls on.. Some flags, and some other small stuff to use as decorations.. My mother is making a treasure map, so they (Marcus, his littlebrother and the best friend in the whole wide world) are going tresure hunting.. I feel like I am waaaaay behind..
I'm thinking about making a treasure chest of some kind og candy in it.. Gotta be carefull though.. The bestie has diabetes (only 6 years old
)..
They will get foam swords, pirate hats, eye patches etc etc etc.
BTW - what's up with the forum? It's soooo slow when loading.. I don't know if it's only happening here..
Hugs..

Candice,
Welcome! 
Thanks for such
fantastic advice! 
Pricing is such a bear...nobody wants
to overprice or underprice. And I like the idea of having lower
priced items so people will have a choice.
