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!  Laughing

Ksulliv,
Sorry, I think I said that wrong! Embarassed
What I meant is that if it's a small enough piece, you might be able to get away with knitting it as is, even though your stitches will be rectangular while the cross stitch chart has square stitches.
But over a larger piece it will become more obvious. So it depends on how large your chart is, and then there's no rule of how big is too big. It's unfortunately just plain old trial and error. Frown
A Chewbacca pattern would be more difficult than, say, something abstract, because if it's abstract you wouldn't notice the skewing. But with something as recognizable as Chewbacca, that's hard to predict. Frown


Isabelle,

I'm half way through my test code change.  I was able to find a very old Android tablet here in the office that showed errors when downloading.  In testing, I'm now able to download successfully.

My hopes are that I'll have a version for you to test in the next day or so.

Terry

Ann,

Welcome!  Smile

I'm so sorry for your loss...furchildren are so precious.  Cry

The good news is that you can use the freePatternWizard with an Android tablet.  The conversion work is actually done on our server, so you don't have to install anything on your tablet to make your pattern.

There are some special effects available (e.g., brightness, contrast adjustments, etc), though for now image manipulation like cropping should be done beforehand (these are features that are currently in development and are not yet available).  I'm unfamiliar with apps that are available for this purpose, but I'm sure there are some good options, so if you do a search and read the reviews, that should help you to find an app that can be used if you need to manipulate your image.  Smile

Wow!!! That is wonderful! Looks amazing!!!

Becky,

No worries on responding late...take care of your health first, of course!  Kiss

So happy you're getting your crochet mojo back.  Kiss

It's good that more supplies are coming in...it seems to depend on the area.  Larger cities probably have much more selection.  We're in a pretty small town, so we have very little selection.  Frown

LOL, I must agree with Sherry, though...buying only what you need, as if it's a fixed amount, is a very foreign concept and I can't quite grasp it, either...  Wink

I think your partner needs to find somewhere else to store his clothing.  Wink  Doesn't yarn take precedence?!  Clothing, meh, if you have an old exercise bicycle or other unused equipment, now, that is where you'd store clothing!  Wink  And it's all out in the open, not hidden, so you can choose your outfits at a glance!  (Are these good enough arguments? Laughing)
