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!

Angelique,
Welcome!
What kinds of things have you cross stitched? If you'd like, please feel free to post pictures of your cross stitch and any other crafts, so we can all drool!
Awwww, your guinea pig sounds adorable! At least one of our other members here, Aabye, also has guinea pigs. Would love to see pics of Vlekkie, too! Nothing more adorable than cute little furry ones.
I'm sure you'll be fine...listen, I've been doing all kinds of crafts for years and I still make mistakes...all the time! (Wish I could say "kidding," but that's completely serious, sigh.) The thing I've found is not to sweat it. What you think is a glaring mistake others won't even notice...promise!
Sherry,
Thanks to you!
Neave,
Ugh, I completely agree! Family really can be your worst enemy. That "sacred" family crap is so ridiculous! People completely forget about how vulnerable people are when it comes to family. Their guard is generally down and loving, positive feelings for family can lead to a mess.
Helen,
Welcome!
Though the freePatternWizard isn't set up for needlepoint at the moment, my guess is you can do just fine with it set for cross stitch, since needlepoint is kind of half of a cross stitch.
You could tape the pages together, but if it gets too unwieldy, you may want to page back and forth...the problem is that printers these days aren't meant to print huge patterns. So the patterns have to be paged for PDF output, which is why charts turn into a lot of pages.
I'm guessing the "how" of charted needlepoint is similar to cross stitch...e.g., working out from the center, starting with the lightest colors. At any rate, that's the way I would work. If you've never done cross stitch before, perhaps you could start with a small, simple pattern (thankfully, there are tons of them available online for free!), then move on to your charted needlepoint pattern once you know how to work from the center out.
Hope that helps!
Please bump me up I am so happy to have found this site, and enjoy making graphs here. Thank you in advance for the bump. And thanks for sharing this wonderful site.
