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!

Yes, please! Actually,
when I am done with the stitch-along, I am going to try baking
these cupcakes in real life! When I start, I wil be sure to post in
the baking section.
Hello. My page name is Merlot. I called a brick and mortar shop and the lady suggested your sight. I am interested in cross stitching a saying for my grandson. I thought having it all in black would simplify things. I plan on putting it in a 5x7 frame or 8x10, if I must. I' m totally lost here, I admit. I have read but do not know where to start. Suggestions please.
Kathy,
As this is a technical issue (I can tell you all about crochet, but not computer programming!) I've alerted Terry (Support) to your issue.
What I do know is there's a known problem with stray colors that will be fixed in the next build; beyond that, I don't have the expertise to answer your question, which is why I've forwarded it to Terry.
Hi, I'm new and am attempting to do my first portrait in crochet. I've only seen a couple of them finished but both of them were done in vertical rows. If I work my pattern in a horizontal pattern will it be out of porportion? I'd really hate to do all of that work to find it's messed up. Please advise!
Thank you!

Tabitha,
My apologies...it appears my response to your earlier inquiry through our form has gone awry...just a guess, perhaps it went into your spam folder.
In the meantime, this is the gist of what I had written to you before:
My suggestion in this case would be to resize your original image in a graphics program to the approximate size (width) you would like your finished piece to be. (Note, you can't set the height at this time, because if you did, the image would be skewed. For now, we let the computer determine the correct aspect ratio, but this may change in the future.) So if you want your keychain to be 38 beads across, for instance, you'd resize your image in your graphics program to be 38 pixels wide, then tell the freePatternWizard you'd like your graph to be 38 stitches wide. (That option is the second one in step 6, " Use the actual number of pixels across in my image as the number of stitches across. If my image is greater than 500 pixels wide, reduce it to show 500 stitches across.")
You may have to fiddle with the image and your stitch a bit to get exactly what you want, but that really is the best way to handle it.
Also, try to use "better" images. While jpgs may be easier to find, you're much better off with GIFs, which won't have the stray pixel problems.
