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

Mslyn,
Welcome! Smile
If you have images you want to turn into graphs for graphghans, just go to "patterns/create a pattern" and you can upload your image to the freePatternWizard.
As for sizing to make something smaller than a normal graphghan, such as a hat or halter top, you would need to make your image that you're uploading the size of the stitches across you would need, where # of pixels across = number of stitches across. (Currently, yoiu can't set the number of rows; this will change in a later version, but for now the freePatternWizard chooses the number of rows for you to best optimize your image.) This will have to be done in a graphics program, as simply adjusting the number in the freePatternWizard without first adjusting the image may distort the image.


OMGEEEEE! That is totally amazing.

Gina,

Welcome!  Smile

So happy to hear crochet helps you through troubling times.  Kiss  And it's wonderful how you can sell and donate the beautiful things you make!  Kiss  I'm so sorry you have to go through the terrible part of it, the treatments and travel, because you're right...cancer sucks.  Cry  It's so important to have an outlet during such trying times, and crochet is an excellent one.  Charleen is definitely a gem for teaching you!  Kiss

Awww, Dumpling...what an adorable nickname...glad he loves it!  Kiss

Oh, goodness, a 67 pound boxer...she sounds so cuddly!  Kiss

You're not boring at all...so glad you decided to post!

Feel free to post pictures of your work sometime...so we can all drool!  Wink

Love and lots of positive thoughts right back to you!  Kiss

Kim, member kmargittai, has graciously allowed us to give her pattern away for free here in the Community, so you can get an idea of how an illusion knitting chart works.  Smile

Please note that the PDF is a bit different in the beginning and near the middle of the pattern.  Kim ended up knitting only 4 rows at the beginning instead of 12 (I would do the same, as 12 rows aren't really necessary before starting the pattern) and again she changed the 12 rows between 61 and 80 to only 8 rows.  The extra rows aren't really needed, but if you want more knit rows at the beginning and between the 2 + 2 and the = 4, by all means, use the pattern exactly as charted.  The nice thing with the plain knit rows is that it's about how you want them to look, not critical to the illusion pattern, so there's no right or wrong way to do it!  Smile

Get the pattern here!
It All Adds Up Illusion Pattern

300 stitches would be fantastic! oh the possibilities!
