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!

terrific and thorough answer
actually makes sense
in looking closer (enlarging) at the pics i've downloaded, it seems the pixels are a bit off as it sits
with some a bit lighter shades than others. not sure i'd call them "grey" but i can understand how the software would call them so.
so on to the image software, gonna poke around and see if i can "clean" them up so solid black and resize as you suggested!
Great idea almost too obvious lol!
pixel = stitches
i'll gladly share what i've come up with and maybe others can use them or perhaps just get ideas.
Thanks a bunch for the very quick responses!
Hi.
What type of image are you trying to upload? i.e. Is it a .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.
Thanks for the info.

Hi,
If there is only a small amount of white in your image, try turning down the "Color Sensitivity" in section 8.
A lower "Color Sensitivity" setting also helps when you have a small image.
A new version is coming soon that also addresses some cases when manual colors are chosen in section 5b. I'm trying to turn on this new version within days.
Also, if you post your image here in a message, I can see what you're working with. Or if you want to email a copy instead, let me know and I'll send you an email. You can then reply to it and attach your image.

Gloshei,
I'm not sure you'll be
able to work as small as you need to for a pen wrap, unfortunately.
The freePatternWizard is best used when you give it an image that
is the same number of pixels as you'll need for number of beads
(stitches).
In other words if you wanted a
pattern that was, say, 20 beads across you'd give the
freePatternWizard an image that was 20 pixels across, then give it
20 stitches across in option #6. (At this time the horizontal
measurement is the only one you can give to the freePatternWizard.
This will eventually change, but for now it's not possible to
override the computer figuring the vertical measurement for
you.)
It's best to work all patterns like
that with the freePatternWizard. With text, the problem is that if
you have an image that is larger and you're trying to make it
smaller (or smaller and you're trying to make it larger), it will
only distort and give you things like missing text. Text is
especially difficult because unless you're going pixel to bead it
usually has thin lines that will either be represented in the
pattern by thick areas or they'll disappear altogether. The best
solution for that is to give it an image that already has the
dimensions you want, so if you wanted a pattern that was 50 beads
by 50 rows, you'd give it an image that's 50x50. Again, the
vertical on that can't be guaranteed, but for the horizontal,
pixels to stitches will work best.
