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!

Argh, that's such a long trip for Michael's!
That's awful about your Walmart, too. Ours has a far smaller craft supply department than it used to have. It used to be huge...lots of yarns, fabrics, sewing threads, machine supplies, the entire DMC palette, plenty of cross stitch kits and patterns and now...almost nothing. It's very frustrating. The only cross stitch store that was close was still quite a distance away, and it went out of business years ago. This economy has made it rough for any business to stick around. We've lost most of our craft stores...JoAnn Fabrics, yarn shops, the distant cross stitch store, etc.
Where are you located...are you in the Pacific Northwest?
My best friend was affected by the fires in Texas in 2011. She and her husband were evacuated, and for days had no idea if their home was safe. They finally were able to return and thankfully, they were lucky...their home didn't burn. But what a scary thing. And that smoke isn't good for anyone.
Just a thought...I don't know if she carries embroidery floss or other cross stitching supplies, but I know that Cindy of Cindy's Crafts in Tennessee ships orders for exact cost. She's known for her beads, mostly, but I know she sells other craft supplies, too, so you may want to contact her. Here's her website:

Cindy is always super helpful!
If Cindy doesn't carry the cross stitch supplies you're looking for, you could also try ordering from JoAnn Fabrics...I've heard they'll have promotions where they have free shipping, so that may help keep your costs down.
I'm enjoying chatting with you too!
You have the upgrade!
I posted one FREE beading/jewelry book for Kindle for today...grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)

Wheelsup,
Welcome! So sorry you're having problems...I'll
alert Terry (Support) to your message. There was a problem with
some updates that were done to the site; I'm not sure if that's the
reason, though, so I'll let Terry know so he can figure out what's
wrong.

Firstly I was just told about this sight from someone on a different on a crochet forum. This is a very cool sight ...thank you
So i created a graph for picture afghan (tunisian).
I have made quite a few of these but my graphs are charted with colors rather than symbols.
I have new to this sight so I am not sure of capabilities.
Is it possible to create the graph with colors rather than symbols?
Thanks again
Jo
