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!

Veronica,
As I always tell people, try to use a photo with the same number of pixels across as you want stitches across. By doing this, the program will not make any changes by dropping pixels so basically, "what you see is what you get" — meaning your pattern should come out looking the same as your photo.
I also had another thought that sometimes improves the quality of your pattern and "averages" out the pixels a bit and maybe would help with your pixelation. You may want to try checking the "Antialias on" box in section 8. This smooths out some areas. It's hard to explain but you may just want to try it to see if your pattern looks better.
Let me know if I can help further!

I'm trying to make an 18x18 pillow and I'm unsure how many stitches to use. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi Melanie,
Ok thanks for all your advice!
I have an I-Mac, so that might not be the problem then.
I will measure my images with one of my graphics program then and try it again to turn it in a wonderful printing pattern and look how it turn out.
I will let you know for sure.
But what do all your members do with the patterns then, if they can't resize them?
Are they making other stuf with it then bracelets.
Bye bye
José

Melanie,
My washer has a wool program.. It works like a charm
I made a tent for my self.. You know, a sweater sooo big that you could probably live in it :p
It's very nice, unfortunately I got stuck in a door handle and ripped up one of the sleves
Anyhow.. That was made from highlandwool, non superwash.. I used to wash it in the washer on my wool program.. It's as pretty (it's butt ugly) as when I made it.. :p
I only made the mistake of washing a sweater on a non wool program ONCE.. My mother made these Oslo Anoraks for the kids.. She told me that it was super wash, so I put it in the mashine, and when done, there was this cute little doll sweater coming out.. -.-'
I gave it to the neighbours daugthers doll.. It was really annoying.. :p
Oh.. The time.. Have to walk the dogs before I'm off to school o.O
Hugs..
