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!

Hi, All.
As promised, I just added some new paper sizes which will give you more stitches per printed page.
There was a more technical post regarding fitting more stitches per printed page here so I'll keep this message shorter. The paper sizes just added are:
My previous post explained how to use this to print more stitches per page. Also, as before, the example above are based on standard crochet or knitting.
A tutorial will be coming to make things easier to understand.
One other thing... There will also be an additional (and easier) option coming that allows you to fit more stitches per page.

Hi, me again, I'm new to this amazing program and community. I'm making a cushion cover for the much beloved for Christmas
What's the "standard" stitch if you pick knit in the free pattern wizard, I know the crochet one is US single
Does it mean knit on the right side and purl the wrong side or knit all and end up with garter stitch
Thanks again, sorry getting confused and fretting over it 😕
Melanie,
You are *very* welcome! Yes, indeed, I do! I'm having issues of my own with my site, as we speak ... LOL!
Amy,
Welcome!
You're correct...it should be numbered bottom to top. I thought it had been changed, but obviously not! LOL, but please put on more coffee...everything is always better after a nice hot cup!
Seriously, I'll alert Terry (Support) about this. In the meantime, my suggestion would be to start from the bottom. (Not that there's anything "wrong" with starting from the top, just that it would seem a bit odd, as most knitting is worked bottom up, not top down.)
Thanks for letting us know!
Line,
Oh, hon, how awful!
I can completely understand
why you wouldn't want your kids to be exposed to her
craziness.
Are you being pushed to accept and support her position? It sounds absolutely, horribly wrong if that's the case. Can you refuse to participate? Not go to visit on Saturday?
IMO, whatever you want to do is the right thing to do. It sounds like a chaotic, toxic environment, and you have every right to choose not to get involved.
Vent anytime.
People can be cruel and
thoughtless, and the idea of someone like that, family or not,
expecting to be welcomed into your life is
crazy. Nothing says you must
welcome her or accept her bad behavior. Nor do you have
to believe her if she claims to have changed. People can
change, but in my experience it's rare, so if your gut is saying
she hasn't changed while she's claiming to have changed, I'd say
listen to your gut!
Your stepfather has no right to expect you to accept your mother back again. If he wants to accept her himself, that's his problem. People can spend years loving the wrong person, and that still doesn't mean you have to get caught up in the drama, too.
I really dislike people who insist you have to go against your feelings "because it's your family." Family is not perfect. It's being a good parent not to want your kids to get messed up by your mother's lifestyle. They're young and impressionable...she's irresponsible.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything, especially after a very stressful move.
Glad you can take your mind off of the drama with school. Don't let them catch you up
in their bad choices; IMO, you should do your best and put yourself
and your family first.
Sending lots of good thoughts that things work out the best way for you.
