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!

I would love to see a corner to corner option
Hi, and welcome!
In section 7 try turning the "color sensitivity" up to a higher number. This will begin combining colors and reduce the total number in a pattern.
You can also select "I will choose my colors" in section 5b and manually enter the colors you want. The program will then limit the pattern to only those colors.
You may also want to try turning on the "anti alias" in section 8.
There are other settings you can try but these are a few that may help.

Chris,
This is one of the best tutorials I've found, if you're not specifically looking for a video:
http://www.dummies.com/crafts/crocheting/how-to-carry-yarn-in-crochet/
I like the illustrations because they make the steps very clear!
It's not hard to strand in this manner and will give the piece a much more polished appearance when it's finished than if you cut the yarn and work the ends in later. Sure, it's a bit more trouble, but worth it, IMO. Though double crochet is shown in the illustrations, single crochet is the same thing, just with a shorter stitch, and you should be able to strand exactly the same way.
Melanie,
I sure hope so
I gave 6 to my MIL, so she can try them for me, I don't wear makeup everyday, and I don't wanna put it on, just to take it off right away, so I gave her some, and then she'll hopefully leave me some feedback at some point..
Hugs

Cocco,
Welcome!
Is the problem
you're having only with the length?
At this
time it's not possible to designate the number of rows with the
freePatternWizard. We originally made it that way so people
wouldn't skew or truncate their patterns. This will be changed in a
future version, but I'm sorry to say I don't have a specific date
for that.
If that's the problem, what you
could try doing is to experiment with adding borders to your
original image until it's at the size you want.
Please let me know if I've misunderstood so I can help
you properly.
