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!

OMG THAT WAS WAY EASIER THAN I ANTICIPATED! I JUST USED MY ABOVE BLOCK LETTERS TO MAKE MY GRAPH!!! IM ON MY WAY NOW PEOPLE!

here!!!
Kat from Cali babi!!!
Thank you for that reply but that is not really what I meant........... What I meant was how do you control the actual pattern to be a specific size? For example I have a picture of my sons dog and I made a pattern for filet crochet but when I am crocheting it with size 10 thread ( which I thought was basic or say standard, for filet crochet ) it is turning out much larger than I really wanted. So the problem lies with the pattern I made not with my chosen thread or yarn or hook...... How do I control what size finished product my "pattern" will make? I'm assuming making the pattern with less graph squares but I don't really understand your program for that........is that where it says I can put in how many blocks I want and you have it defaulted to 80??? So how do I figure out how many blocks I want on my pattern? I'm sure for someone who is good at math it's probably an easy answer lol but I honestly have no idea and appreciate your help. I'm using a 2mm hook and size 10 thread if that helps........ Or do I have to shrink my picture of the dog? Or is the math backwards and you figure the amount of blocks for the pattern by your crochet gauge?? I'm confused lol Please help!! I appreciate it!! Thanks

Ruth,
I'm happy to say your
messages were both posted! The only thing that didn't make it was
your subject line, so I added one. It is indeed some kind of odd
character that was stripping out your words, so now we can figure
out why it's happening and prevent it from happening again. I don't
remember where we were before, but in case you don't know, we did
extend your subscription out another year, as our thanks for being
so patient with us and this issue, and for helping us to solve
it!
40 years in
crochet, goodness! You must have made so many wonderful things. If
you have any photos, please feel free to post them!
Your grand girls' filet crochet names sound lovely! No
doubt they appreciate and cherish them.
As for filet
crochet from a photo, that is possible, but it should only be a
two-color photo. Filet with more colors is possible, and we may
explore that possibility in the future, but for now we've had no
requests and are attempting to focus on what most people want, so
it's strictly limited to two colors, one being the yarn color for
the filled squares, the other being the "open" squares.
If I've misunderstood your question, please let me
know!
JollyJah,
It looks like they
uploaded an original game image of 35x35 pixels, then gave the
freePatternwizard "35" as the number of stitches across. This would
give everything in the original image as stitches/beads, with no
distortions.
Amanda,
Welcome! 
Please tell me
if I'm understanding the problem correctly. You send a font through
the freePatternWizard, but it's not turning out clear?
The problem with a font is if it has a bunch of thin
lines it will be impossible for the freePatternWizard to see and
replicate them. Something with, say, a sweeping script of wide and
thin lines will only show the wide lines. The same goes for a font
with very thin serifs.
If I'm correct
above, then you may not be able to use the particular font you want
to use. I know suitable fonts that are all thick lines are
disappointing, especially when you have your heart set on a
beautiful font, but some simply don't convert well. The
freePatternWizard tries to make patterns based on what it sees and
if lines are too thin, it won't see them as being part of the
pattern, I'm sorry to say.
