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!

Welcome!
Hi Terry,
When I told you that the test images you sent worked except for picking up the pupil, I was wrong in that assumption. Today I decided to take a closer look of the word chart and there are still errant colors being picked up, though now in different places. It starts later in the design than previously but they are still there...
I'm going to redesign this image & not change sizes at all. Its going to be a bit difficult working on such a small canvas so I'm going to test both the small canvas area & then a large canvas area then work them thru the program & see what happens.
So sorry that I wasn't thorough enough...but the charts I created looked quite different in the beginning than before & I just assumed...& we all know assuming usually bites us back...
Kathy
Update: I just finished the redesign & conversion...sent you an email with the results. I simply cannot get this image any smaller for the original design. It is far too hard for me to work with that small a canvas & I did try another option I have but that turned out totally unsuitable though easier to work with. So it looks like what I've been using for designing is what I'm stuck with...
ksmith,
I've done tons of graphs, some I've had to edit in another program first. I'm thinking that the most likely thing is that the software is picking up pixels that you can't see with the naked eye.
Try putting your image into a photo editing program (I use GIMP), and magnifying it so that you can see those pixels and edit the colors a bit.
Another trick that will sometimes work, is to choose a yarn and then select I will choose my colors, then when the pallette appears check only the colors you want.
Sometimes it will take a bit of work to get your graph just the way you want, and you may have to run it through several times.
Hope this helps
Debbie,
You're right, it really doesn't look terribly difficult...I think the main thing is that I'm not sure of the size of the Apple Pie Knitter, to get a similar sized knitted tube. I don't really remember how many of the posts there were or how wide the loom was. My friend has a book on making looms, and from the sound of it, a tin can and some nails taped to the can would suffice, but again, I'm not sure of the sizing. So perhaps the best thing to do would be to try different sizes of cans until something makes a correct sized tube. LOL, hopefully!

Saadia,
Welcome!
If you're asking about a mosaic crochet option, I'm
sorry to say we don't have one available at the moment.
Helene,
Welcome!
I
apologize...I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. Are you
talking about a crocheted blanket made, for example, with various
20 x 20 squares?
If that's correct, the best
I can say is to make your images square, with the number of pixels
equal to the number of stitches across that you want and pixels at
approximately the number of rows you'd like the finished project to
be. At this point it isn't possible to have the freePatternWizard
give you the number of rows you want, so experimenting is the best
way to go until that feature is available.
If I've misunderstood, please let me know.
