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!

Thanks for your help. I decided to just go with the single crochet. I just really prefer HDC!
I am using macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6. The specific problem I am having is the colors and the size. The picture has 2 Dachshunds that are black on top of a Heart in the middle that is red and the background is Gray. When I select the colors black, red and gray it is to dark. the black and red are too dark to read. If I select the option for color matching it is too dark. Can you help me with selecting the right colors?
I have been able to get the Ansi D to work. But there is a 1.5 inch margin on each side. I would like to have it with less margin .
If I could just get the colors so I can read them I can enlarge the pattern on my printer.
I can send you the picture if you want so you can see what I am trying to work with.
Thank you Neva
Sara,
Wow. It looks like this hasn't been working since at least February or March!
The problem actually had nothing to do with anything I've been working on so I must have inadvertently changed it sometime in the past.
Anyway, I just fixed it and at the same time added a feature where the downloaded .gif pattern has the same base file name as the original one uploaded. When you save it, you can also name it something else.
So if you upload a photo called "kitten.jpg", the saved pattern will be "kitten.gif" (since all patterns are created as a .gif to maximize the quality). If you upload a .gif image (like "kitten.gif"), it will add the prefix "pattern-" to the file name so you won't accidently write over your original image. So in this example, the pattern file name would be "pattern-kitten.gif".
So try it again and let me know.

Good sleuthing, Melanie. I would have done it, but just haven't been feeling so great this past month or so.
Great looking cookies ... good thing I'm back on a keto diet these days ... lol.
To ALL crafters ... in a few weeks or so, I should be ready for test stitchers and proof readers / editors to test and review not only my patterns, but also the 'recipe' tutorials, like the recently posted knit cowl.
As an example, if you read the knit cowl tutorial and you use it to knit your own cowl in another stitch pattern, or in fair isle, or entrelac or whatever your creativity leads you to, that's what I'm looking for.
The wonderful thing about the 'recipe' tutorials is they are not limited to one craft type.
Again, as an example let's take the knit cowl tutorial. A crocheter can take the same "recipe" and use any crochet stitch or stitch pattern, and create a custom designed crochet cowl.
Here's another example just for some "out of the box" creative inspiration.
In one of my photo albums here on Stitchboard, I recently posted several cross stitch borders all users are free to use for their personal use. Not only would I love to see you use those borders in your own cross stitch projects, but I am convinced that at least a few of them would make really neat plastic canvas picture frames.
Some of them would make nice bookmarks, too, I think.
You are only limited by your own creative imagination.
Here is my proposal, and I am open to any / all ideas, suggestions, comments, so please let's discuss this.
1. If you want to be a pattern tester, please leave a note here telling me what type of craft project you're interested in testing / proofreading.
You may also select a pattern from the StitchMeKnot Store if you like, as most of those patterns have not yet been tested.
BONUS FREEBIE: It has come to my attention that one of my store patterns has an error in it [I haven't had time to correct it yet], the first person who can tell me which pattern has the error, and what the error is, gets a free pattern of his / her choice. See why I need pattern testers!!!! LOL
I'm sorry to say the Freebie Bonus deadline has expired. The pattern has been corrected and uploaded to the site. - Thank you.
2. I will provide you with a pattern of your choice for testing and/or review.
3. In return, I am looking for honest open feedback on the pattern's accuracy, useability, readability, etc. If you find a mistake, or think something can be made better, this is what I am looking for.
4. I am also looking for 2-3 high resolution photos of your finished project.
5. Once I have received your high resolution photos, I will post them on my blog. I am creating a 'member' gallery where I will show case your finished creations.
6. I will give you attribution by putting your name / username and/or blog or store address in the caption of the images.
7. I will be creating a pinterest board specifically for all testers who send in their photos. These photos will also have your name / username and / or blog or store address, if you so desire.
8. If you have a blog or a webstore, I would be very happy to either have you as a 'guest speaker' on my blog, or I could do a post promoting your designs and linking to your blog or store.
9. Once you have completed one of my patterns and provided the high resolution photos, you will be able to select another pattern for testing.
10. I do ask that you would respect my copyrights by not distributing any of my patterns elsewhere. Anyone caught doing so will be prohibitted from testing any further patterns, and their photos, etc., will be removed from the blog and pinterest.
Again, I am open to any other suggestions, ideas, etc. regarding this topic. Let's discuss it!
Thank you.
NOTE - You are free to sell any / all finished stitch products you create from StitchMeKnot patterns. If you create your own stitch designs, based upon mine, all I ask is attribution by giving a link to my blog. Of course you retain all copyrights to any and all designs and patterns you create.

Debbie,
Sigh. It's gone, guessing you're right, the account has been taken down. On the bright side, the page can still be seen here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130202082421/http://sugarandmeringue.squarespace.com/granny-square-cookies
Sadly, the PDF is not available anymore. But I do believe the tutorial is good enough to be used without having the PDF...the photos look great even for a non-baker like me!
