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!

Hi All,
New to the art thread community. Got some hoops and thread for Christmas, excited to start slinging some threads.

msmhon,
Welcome!
The stitches are represented as wide and short rather than square because crochet stitches are wider than they are tall. We've been discussing the possibility of making the numbers more sensitive to exact gauge, but we originally chose a standard shape for a single crochet.
The reason we call it "standard" rather than single crochet is because the same stitch is called a double crochet in the UK. Our terms for that may change in the future, but to avoid confusion we originally addressed the issue by calling it standard.
Isabelle,
I have added a couple lines of code that might give you the download option again. Try downloading another chart.
This is a temporary test. Let me know if it works.

JDHCTP,
Welcome! 

We do plan on
adding other yarns to the palette. I can't say which yarns and
when, as we have a complex process to go through to get the yarns
into the palette. We do take it under advisement when people
request certain yarns.
So while I can't make any promises as
to specific yarns and timeframes, we do listen to what people
request. 


And I'm glad to
hear Yarn Bee is in constant supply when so many things have become
unreliable or completely unavailable! 

Jessica,
LOL, nah, you can't keep
crafters under wraps! 

Can't wait to
see what you're making when it's done!
What is it that you're currently
working on?

I have a lot of WIPs...the good
news is I'll have to live to be well over 500 to accomplish all of
them.
I am a miracle of science waiting to
happen!
