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!

bgwatkins,
Welcome!
First, kudos on doing a gauge swatch!
Second, here's a chart I found for figuring out yarn from a swatch:

Hope that helps!
Hi all,
Is there any plan for custom aspect ratios in the future? My 4" x 4" crocheted gauge swatch was 14 stitches by 16 rows. This is an aspect ratio of 0.875. I've read here that your standard single crochet (which is what I used) is an aspect ratio of 0.75 and obviously a square has an aspect ratio of 1.
Based on my gauge, it seems my graphghan will be distorted either way and my image won't come out correctly.
This is a
huge bummer as I was so glad to be able to turn this image into a
graph. I did a large Michigan Block M (for university of
Michigan) which came out good using a square size pattern, but it
doesn't matter if a big M is slightly wider, it still looks like an
M. The design I'm working on now has circular sections
and writing on the diagonal. So having correct gauge
would be critical.
If you have already started working on this or some way you can input gauge and have the graph adjust, I would LOVE to test it out for you.
Thanks,
Jessica

Dave,
So glad I could help!
If you're
talking about making a pattern from a photo or artwork, you can use
our freePatternWizard. You can access that by using the top menu
and choosing pattern/create a pattern. Then in #5a you can choose
the DMC palette and in 5b you can choose, "I will choose my colors
(select to see the colors)."
If you're
talking about creating a pattern from scratch, I'm sorry to say
that every site I used to use for that purpose is gone. 
I haven't yet found a replacement. At
some point we'll be including this capability in the
freePatternWizard, but for now I'm sorry to say it's not
available.
