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 Melanie..
Relationship stuff is the worst..
We still live together though.. And the kids doesn't know about it yet... There is no need to stress them about it.. :/
The holidays were a bit stressfull.. My mother is back in DK.. I don't know what to think about that.. But we spent christmas at her place, because of the kids. They wanted to see her. I can't refuse that, even if I wanted to.. It was very weird beeingf there.. But she says that she is deffinitely staying.. She has been back for a couple of months now.. I guess it's a start..
Anyway.. The hat is DONE..
My only problem with it is that there are some big holes in the pattern.. I tried tightening the yarn when I came to the sections with the holes, but it was no use. I think I have to sew it a bit, so the holes are not that big..
Wore it this moning on my way to school, and it was VERY warm - sooo nice <3
I think I have to make one more, but in a different color..
It was veeeery easy to make.. I found a pattern for a swirled ski hat.. It was gorgeous.. Unfortunately I can't knit.. :p
Thank you for your kindness, it warms my heart..
(have sent you a PM)
Psmith,
Welcome!
Before you go to a big, complex pattern, my suggestion would be to start with some small graphs that you can find online. It would be daunting to start with a very large graph first; as I found out with bead crochet, starting without practicing or trying it out can be very difficult. Until I stopped thinking about all of the big projects I could make with bead crochet and started some practice pieces with yarn and big plastic pony beads, I couldn't do bead crochet. Starting with the yarn and pony beads made all of the difference.
That's why my recommendation is to try something smaller first. Try some smaller patterns where you can become accustomed to working on graphs. Once you've done a few of those and know how to handle changing colors and weave in the ends, then I'd say to start with a larger graph, but until then, I wouldn't suggest going to a large, complex pattern for your very first graphed project.
Hello,
I'm just checking in to see if word charts for peyote seed beading are any nearer to being available. I was just diagnosed with lung cancer and I'd really love to do that project that I used stitch board to create...it'd give me something to do during my long chemo sessions too.
Thanks

At long last, I just enabled our next Premier feature of the freePatternWizard which allows you to customize your pdf patterns. As time goes, I'll be enhancing this feature and giving you more options. This is also the first feature that allows you to actually save information for future use.
In summary, this feature allows you to enter and save:
- up to 5 different lines of text that can appear on the top line (header) of your pdf pattern pages
- up to 5 different lines of text that can appear on the bottom line (footer) of your pdf pattern pages
- up to 5 different web sites and links
- a company name (or other custom line of text)
- up to 3 email addresses and links
- up to 3 custom lines/blocks of text/notes
- a copyright notice
- a pdf document author
- a pdf document creator name
- a pdf document subject
- a list of key words for your pdf document
Once you have entered and saved your desired information, you can then tell the program what information you want on the header, footer, and in the lower right corner of your pdf pages. You do this through a new area of section 7 at the freePatternWizard page. This new area is highlighted with a red background and only shows up when you subscribe to this feature.
The header can be set to blank, any one of your custom header entries, pattern name, company, or copyright.
The footer can be set to blank, any one of your custom footer entries, pattern name, company, or copyright.
The lower right corner can be set to blank, one of your web site entries, or your copyright notice. If you have entered a link for your web site, the pdf will contain a link in the corner when someone mouses over the web site name.
If entered and not printed in the header, footer, or lower right corner, the main key page will also list your pattern name, company, email address, web site, suggested fabric, notes, and copyright.
By the way, subscribers can now generate multiple lines of printed notes by typing in a backslash-n (\n) without the parentheses to make the printed pdf go to the next line. So entering: This is line 1\nThis is line 2 would print as:
This is line 1This is line 2
The pdf author, creator, subject, and key words will be embedded into the pdf document and, depending on the viewing browser or program, may or may not show.
One other important feature is that the document will no longer show the Stitchboard name on the pages. The pages are now your own and customized!
As a Premier feature, we're starting it out with the introductory price of $4.99 for a whole year. To subscribe, go to the subscription page. As always, we never automatically renew subscriptions. We'll let you know about 30 days before expiration and you always have the option to renew.
Once you do subscribe, you can then use the top dropdown menu to go to the Private Label information entry pages. You can also use this link if you've subscribed, otherwise you'll get returned to the freePatternWizard main page.
We're open to all input regarding what everyone would like added to the pdf customization. We have several ideas of additions but wanted to get it open now so people can begin using it.
I should also point out that for the members who have subscribed to "all" Premier features, this new pdf private label option will automatically be available!
Let us know if I have caused any problems. And tell us how we can improve it! Most of all, have fun.
Terry
