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.)


Years ago, I did a cheetah on black and absolutly love it....my poor old eyes just aren't the same anymore.  Thank you for the suggestions.  I'm going to try very hard not to give up the ship on this one, but it's certainly not going to be easy.

You are amazing people! I am in love with this site, and just joined will be premier soon!!! I want to help you test if you need it, and I am pretty sure miyuki has a link or plug in to use for pattern software, I emailed them last month to ask and they are supposed to contact me today. (I am sure you have fixed whatever issues mentioned however if you need that info I will gladly forward the message as I could not use it since I don't have personal software! I have a question about peyote stich patterns tho, (prob not the place to ask but i am just learning my way around here) can I make a pattern say 300 across and 600 down or 44 across and 46 down etc? I will definitely ask in the proper section once I find it. thank you so much for this website people like you make the world so much better!😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😉😉😉😉😉

I would also appreciate being upgraded so I can get bigger graphs and so I can get them in word charts. Thanks!

Hi, Melissa.

I'm sure it's nothing you're doing wrong. 

If you happen to be using the Trend Micro antivirus, I know it prevents getting attachments through Yahoo email.

Otherwise, I'm guessing it may be a bug in my software.

Regarding the blank pdf, I'm curious to know what paper size you're using.  (If you don't change the paper size, it defaults to 8 1/2 x 11.)   

I'm always interested in hearing about problems because if I can duplicate a problem, I can fix it so nobody else has it happen.

I also may ask if it would be ok to send me the image you're using so I can see if it does tha same thing.

Thanks.

Terry
