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!

Hi Wendy saw you message I have to ask what is c2c! Being newish at some crafting this one puzzled me.
Nice to meet you by the way 🐒
I've only been crocheting for 2 years. I'm still a beginner but I catch on fast. I have never done a graphgan before so I could use some help. I want to make a fleur-de-lis blanket for my baby boy that's due next month. I have a picture of the design I want but I'm not sure how to make the graph so it doesn't look like there will be stitches out of place. If someone can explain how to use the pattern program correctly I would be very thankful.
This is driving me mad.
Often when I'm making cross stitch patterns with text in them, the black lines of the text, no matter how clear and sharp, often come out as light grey, green, or are even absent entirely.
I'm aware of the issues with JPGs so have tried both GIFs and PNGs with no improvement. I tried limiting the colours of the image which really has only 5, flat colours to begin with - but this only seems to worsen the problem. Tips?
Line,
It's not just the money that would be involved in changing things back...it would be more trouble than it's worth. For instance, to tear the bathroom out, relocate it (where?), restore the downstairs bedroom to part of the living room and to put in a new bay window would be a lot of work...and then the bay window would be facing a garage, so we'd either have to tear out the garage, put the bay window elsewhere (not sure where) or not put in a bay window at all.
Better to leave the changes as is and perhaps add things here and there, like a reading room/tower off of the one bedroom, glass in the front porch and add a wraparound to it, perhaps ultimately extend the master bedroom out over the front porch and make that a glassed-in balcony. Probably would cost less and definitely would increase the amount of space.
The dining room is kind of a loss. Someday when we go to sell, we might put in a dining area in the living room or have a really small table in the kitchen, so as not to emphasize the lack of a dining room or area.
Also, our yard is not very big because of the garage. But a garage is important. So we would probably emphasize the proximity of a public park within walking distance when we're ready to sell, because there's not much we can do about the lack of yard, either.
It's not a nightmare (other than the tree)...it's decent...but not our dream home, you know?
Ouch, 3.7 miles is a lot of walking outside...I can walk that easily as part of an in-home walking program, but outside when the weather isn't perfect, not for me! But the idea of walking around in nature is lovely, IMO, and I can't wait to see your pics!
Downtown walking is nice for
shorter walks. Nature walking...great for longer
walks.

Molly,
Welcome! 
I'm sorry to
say that at this time there's no way to remove the white background
stitches. Of course you don't want people to stitch anything but
the accent colors, as I agree, that would be a waste of time and
thread...nobody cross stitches that way!
This is a feature we'll be including as a later option,
as it's been requested before, but for the moment it's not
available.
