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'm trying to find out if someone can tell me the number of beads (seed beads size 10) it takes to go around a bic with brick stitch?
Right here would be fine!
Nicola,
Welcome!
LOL, I'm going to mention that dirty phrase here...gauge swatch. That will be key to figuring out what size yarn and hook you're going to use. My best suggestion is to start with worsted weight and a hook that will give you stitches that aren't too large or too small. Make a gauge swatch and then determine how many stitches and rows per inch; divide those numbers into the numbers of stitches and rows in your pattern, and that will determine approximate finished size. (I say approximate because, of course, gauge can be fickle, which is where blocking comes in.)
I know, most people (myself included) despise gauge swatches, but they're a necessary evil, bwahahahahaha!
Joyce,
Super...love to see more of your creations!
Fantasy is one of my
favorite subjects for cross stitch.
I posted one FREE soap making how-to book for Kindle for today...if you're interested, please grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for "how to" ebook content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make a how-to book kind of difficult to read.)
