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!

Line,
Well, I'm all for you ultimately teaching them to crochet.
You know, like I'm teaching the cat.
LOL.
No, but how about a flat fox scarf?
You'd probably have to work the body in the round, then the arms, legs, etc. So it wouldn't be fully one piece, but you wouldn't have to stitch up the main piece...LOL, probably not that much of a savings, huh? Sigh.
Oooh, Picasso...a nose where an arm should be, like that?
Laura,
Wow, you sure are devoted!
(And I would do exactly the
same!)
Calculating yarn yardage is difficult because there are so many choices. LOL, not that choices are a bad thing, but it's hard to calculate when one person might be using a worsted weight yarn and another might be using a sport weight. Yarns even differ from manufacturer to manufacturer; one worsted weight yarn from one manufacturer may be thicker and another manufacturer's worsted may be thinner. In addition, everyone's gauge will likely be different, even with the same exact fiber, since some crochet loosely and some crochet tighter.
Trying a gauge swatch, if you haven't done one, may be the most helpful thing of all. You can then get exact yardages for your stitches based on the fiber you're using and your own personal stitch gauge.
Meanwhile, I'll discuss the issue with Terry and see if there's some way he can think of that such a feature could be added. It depends on whether or not there's a way to calculate for the different variations, so I don't know if it's at all possible. If it is, we'll add it to the list of features.

Christine,
Welcome!
I'm sorry to
say the freePatternWizard doesn't have a C2C function available at
this time.
The "size" you're referring to
isn't really a size. It's the number of stitches across. (You can't
currently define the number of rows, only stitches.)
The best thing to do, if possible, is to have your
original image set to 1:1, as in 1 pixel=1 stitch, and to do that,
you'd also need to know your gauge, to calculate the number of
stitches you'll need, so you can adjust your image
accordingly.
The freePatternWizard isn't a
graphics program, so if you give it a different value in this case,
it will attempt to use whatever pixels are in the piece to stretch
or narrow it to that size, where the results may not be
optimal.
Veronica,
That's such outstanding
work and I'm very sorry to hear your husband had a stroke. 
Time and life are absolutely precious.
Time and life are absolutely precious.
You've done a
beautiful job and wow, so fast! 
If anyone should
know how to frame cross stitch, I'd think Michaels would. They
likely get a LOT of demand for things like that. And sorry the
local framers went out of business. A professional framer is like
gold!
Keep up the great work and thank you
so much for the update!
