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!

how do i prevent stray colors in a crochet project?
Tanya,
Welcome!
We recommend that you actually don't use the Stitchboard Full Palette. The reason is it was never meant for yarn colors at all. Unfortunately, yarn manufacturers will likely never make a lot of colors, because then they'd get stuck with many that wouldn't sell well. It's sad for knitters and crocheters, but that's how it works, unfortunately.
The Full Palette was mainly meant for
offbeat embroidery floss colors and bead palettes, which have
hundreds of colors and not only tens of colors.
Instead, we do recommend using the Stitchboard Basic Palette, as many of these will translate better to basic yarn manufacturers' palettes. There is a dearth of yarn color choices out there, so even in those palettes many colors aren't represented, but you'll be able to match more of them than with the Stitchboard Full Palette, which will be next to impossible to match for most of the colors.
I'm sorry to say there's no easy answer, but unless manufacturers someday really want to offer a large variety of colors, the Basic Palette is the better choice for patterns.
BestFriendsClub,
What an AWESOME video and an even more AWESOME project! WOW that took a very long time, no wonder you abandoned the bead by bead video. That would have taken you forever.
It is very generous of you to donate the finished project to the wolf resuce facility. I'm sure they will be so happy to receive it.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Melanie,
I need your help again
unfortunately I've had to order all my yarn from 3 different US
companies 
(I live in canada)
I ended up substituting the discontinued colour 620-126 chocolate brown to 620-129 Cocoa, I'm hoping it works
Now my big question lol I still have to substitute 620-198 Glove and 620-177 Loden. Would you have any suggestions for those two colours? I've emailed Lion Brand and hoping they can help me, fingers crossed!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Lynn
