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!

Thank you for your reply!
I too am a peyote fan and use Delica 11/0 I am also a crappy with bead crochet but can do blankets and such
I would love to see and show my work but have not found gallery yet!
Hi Terry,
I did the exact same thing too..ran the re-designed image as it using actual pixels & it was fine...sorry i really should have mentioned that. The errant colors came up when I changed from using size as the actual pixel in image to the 155 through the program. That's when they should up...
I guess what I'm having trouble process in my non-computer oriented brain is if the image is clean going into the program, then why doesn't it stay that way during the actual conversion? Shouldn't that size reduction be compensated for somehow within the software? Like I said, I really don't understand much about computer stuff but is this something like what you explained in anb earlier message about photo editing programs manipulating colors?
I only did image #2 for my own use..i really don't don't why I tried to muddle the process with it...
As I explained before, working on such a small canvas is almost impossible for me. With the program I use, when I enter the pixel sizes, that's the exact size of the image I get. Something so small makes it quite difficult to get detail right. I would think it might prove challenging for a few others?
If there anything you can do in the future to get the software to compensate for a size change? In the interim, I may have to borrow my brother's desktop to design instead. He's got these absolutely huge monitors that may show that small image I see on my laptop just a bit bigger? At least I hope... I'll figure something out...
But I do appreciate all your help!

Debbie,
I'm so glad you've been benefiting from the YouTube videos, especially to the point of looking like a seasoned professional!
For learning new things (or
for a refresher of forgotten techniques), YouTube is so
invaluable.
I was recently struggling with a "wrap & turn" (short rows) when working very, very small. Though I ultimately found some clear photos on what to do, I was working too small for them, so I was lucky to find a tutorial that was an alternative to the now-dreaded "w&t," LOL. Now short rows are so easy, it's like there was no reason to ever have been worried about those "w&t" instructions!
Oh, no, left handed...that's incredibly difficult!
I've tried left-handed
knitting and crochet and it's impossible as a right-handed
person.
It's lovely how you share the things you've learned. It's so much more enjoyable
that way.
And isn't it wonderful to watch someone take that next step from being inspired?
Melanie,
I'd love to do this once the headache has subsided enough that I can function again.
I'll look for a simple graph with some fairly easy stitches and work up a little tutorial. Probably won't get to this for at least a week or so, depending, but I'm actually looking forward to doing this.
