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!

Silvertiger,
I see what you mean ... I *think* I've been able to figure out the first 5 rows ... then when I got to row 6, I tried to count the number of stitches in my mind, but since I'm absolutely horrible with numbers, I'm not sure I'm right. I would have to actually knit this up to confirm, and I would have to google the left and right leaning M1's as I don't know how to do those yet. If I have time, I'll see what I can do here.
In the meantime, I'll give you the first 5 rows as I understand them ... maybe someone else will be able to confirm I'm doing this correctly as I've never really knit from a chart before ... hopefully, this can at least get you started??
Cast on 5 stitches
Row 1 - [WS] knit all stitches
Row 2 - K2 * M1 [right leaning increase]** purl repeat from * to **
1 time K2 [7 stitches]
Row 3 - K2 purl to last 2 stitches, K2 [Do this for all WS rows]
[except rows 137, 139 and 141 which are all K - see her notes]
Row 4 - K2 * M1 [left leaning increase] M1 [right leaning increase] **
purl repeat from * to ** 1 time K2 [9 stitches]
I would also appreciate being upgraded so I can get bigger graphs and so I can get them in word charts. Thanks!

Daniel4ever,
Welcome! 
I think that's
an awesome idea with your daughter's boyfriend's saying as a family
slogan! 
(Do you care to say what it is? If not,
that's fine!)
(Do you care to say what it is? If not,
that's fine!)I can completely relate to
working with too small materials. A lot of finished and
half-finished items I've found over the years are things I couldn't
possibly work with now. Smaller count fabrics practically make me
break out in hives! 
Anyway, the idea
of using plastic canvas is wonderful. It's big enough to see (isn't that a
great qualification?) and it will be far easier to work on. If you
don't mind slanting stitches (I'm sorry to say we have no
representation of it at this time), you could even use a
needlepoint stitch instead of a cross stitch.

that it doesn't get frustrating is to find a clear, unfussy font.
If you use something with thick and thin lines or serifs, the
freePatternWizard likely won't give a pleasing result. I know block
letters don't always look nice, but there are some fonts out there
that are a little less blocky and still pretty solid.
Please do keep
us informed of your progress!
Jessica,
If you're on a regular
browser, on the top line of the editor above there's what looks
like a picture of a tree. If you click on that, it will allow you
to access your hard drive and add the image.

Has anyone looked at the northern lights shawl created by
annem? If so could you tell me how to make the written instructions
out all she has is the graph. And I can't understand it.
