Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

This turned out so well!
Love how the virus stitch looks as an edging! It makes the design pop without taking attention away from the focal point.
Thank you for posting...love this one, too!
ksmith,
Welcome!
A couple of questions come to mind. When resizing the image, are you using a graphics program? And are you taking a jpg image and making it into a png, or are you working initially with an actual png?
There are other possibilities...those aren't the only ones, so we'll try to figure out what's going on here.
Neave,
Ha, just as I thought!

gnittings,
Welcome! (What a cool user name!)
(What a cool user name!)We don't have a downloadable program at the moment.
There may be one for a future version, but at this time, it's only
available through our site.
MStanley,
Welcome!
At this time we
support only certain stitches such as single crochet, Tunisian and
filet crochet. In the future we'll be adding other stitches. In the
meantime, the problem with single crochet to half double crochet
would make it a very different size of stitch. Depending on your
gauge, you could end up with a very distorted piece. It's not the
width of the stitches that's the problem...it's the height. While
your stitch width would likely remain the same (unless you were to
switch to a different yarn or hook than what you've been using),
the height of your stitch will be more elongated, as a half double
crochet is taller than a single crochet. I don't remember offhand,
but I want to say a half double for me is about 1 1/2 times the
height of a single crochet. It's not a lot, but it's just enough to
throw it off.
With more elongated stitches,
your graph for a single crochet will end up with fewer rows per
inch, meaning your entire piece will be elongated. If you're
working with something that isn't critical to remaining true to how
long the stitches are, you'll be okay, but in most cases, I'd say
your finished item will be longer than anticipated and the longer
stitches may look wonky.
I wish there were
more of a direct correlation, but while the width of the different
stitches are usually the same, the height is usually different.
This turned out so well!
