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

Dskea,
Welcome! Smile
The freePatternWizard was originally set up to keep people from skewing their patterns, which is the reason for the lack of a choice of the number of rows when creating patterns. It takes the number of stitches across and creates a suitable length pattern to best fit with your uploaded image and chosen size.
We do have a version where one can enter the number of rows you want in addition to stitches; however, please keep in mind that it will likely change the aspect ratio, so something might look "off" because it's stretched or narrowed.
If you're interested, we could make this option available to you.
If not, there are other ways to keep within the correct aspect ratio, by adding borders to fool the freePatternWizard into creating the correct number of rows. This unfortunately does require experimenting to get the correct size; I've done this and it's not an exact science.
If you'd prefer to add borders and you're on a Windows PC but you don't have a graphics program, there are two I can suggest that are free, have been around for ages and are quite powerful. (The only thing is, I can't tell you how to use them, as I'm personally using - seriously - a program that was released in 1998, lol.)


Piddy,
Woo hoo, less than 100 rows is fantastic! Kiss
I'm sorry you had to pull out a whole row...definitely feeling your frustration! Cry Especially when you're doing one stitch per color...I would probably have put it in the penalty corner and not let it out to play for a while!
Such awesome work, though...you should be so proud! Kiss


Melissa,
Welcome! Smile Please let us know what assistance you need.


No worries, we do have a feature in development to customize printing.  Smile  In the meantime, have you tried any of the other paper size options?  Even though you're not technically printing to other sizes, it may minimize your pattern enough to give you a smaller number of pages.

Also, keep in mind that if your pattern is printing to 20 pages, printing it all on one page, if we had that option available at this time, could make it impossibly tiny to read.

Neave,

LOL, glad to see you here again!  Ha ha, how about just the vodka, hold the cola?  Wink
