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!

I'm a newbie and trying to learn to graph my own picture. I have crocheted (hdc) a graphghan so I know how to crochet one just dont know how to create a graph. Maybe I'm just slow but I dont understand all the settings.
I am 64, retired, crochet is my vice but I also cross stitch, and have done very little knitting. I'm a glutton for punishment (tongue in cheek) therefore I select difficult and challenging patterns.
Thanks in advance for any help you might give.
Oh, no, I'm so sorry, how awful!
I've handed your message off to Terry (Support), and I'm guessing he'll respond to you tomorrow. I hope he has some ideas.
This sounds like just the kind of thing that would happen to me. I've definitely lost partially-stitched
patterns to floods, sigh...but those weren't my own. Still, I can
relate. It's so devastating.
Nanaz,
I'm so sorry...I was referring to the type of chart, not the subject of your particular chart. Did you have the freePatternWizard create a graph (grid) or a word chart?
Thanks...knowing you're working portrait clarifies things a lot!
The main thing to be concerned about is sending your image through the correct way. With single crochet, as long as you've sent your image through portrait-wise, not landscape-wise, you'r stitches won't be skewed (remember, single crochet stitches are wide and short).
It really depends on how other people want to work their patterns. Usually, an afghan is worked bottom to top (e.g., portrait) because when you see it on a bed it's usually looked at from the foot of the bed, not the side. I'm not sure what else you'd want to do besides what you're already doing.
Sorry if I'm not understanding!

Amber,
Welcome!
If you've
chosen "standard" stitch, that's single crochet. The reason it's
not called single crochet is because in the UK there's no such
thing as a single crochet - they call a single crochet a double
crochet...LOL, how is that for confusing?
