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!

I enjoyed using the pattern wizzard for the first time. Was able to transfer a jpg of giraffes into a 24 month sweatern pattern.
QUESTION: Although the Wizard pattern asks for your stitch width, it does not allow you to input the vertail length. Am I missing something

Galia,
No, the freePatternWizard doesn't take a written crochet pattern and turn it into a symbol pattern. It might be something we'd consider for the future, so we can add it to the list of things to look into! I don't know how much of a possibility it is on the technical end, so whether or not it would ultimately be a feature is dependent on how well it would work technically.
Neave,
You're very welcome!
I hope people will take a
look at your photos, so they can see how wonderful your work is,
and they can get inspired.
Astrid,
Glad you have some time to concentrate on your pattern, and I'm sorry you're on sick leave...though glad it's for nothing major.
Do you know what might be causing your tiredness and headaches?
I get bad migraines here and there - thankfully, not all that often. But when I do get them, they can be so bad I can barely think, let alone get anything accomplished.
It's wonderful that you'll have some solid, uninterrupted time to work on your boyfriend's gift, and best of all, without him seeing.
LOL, the most trying time I had with hiding a gift was a heavy hydraulic jack I'd bought for my husband. I couldn't even lift the thing myself! It was hidden over at the neighbors' house. My husband thought I'd bought it and was even expecting to get it when we went over to the neighbors' house that day...but I fooled him...nothing at the neighbor's house, so he had no idea what I'd bought for him! I had the neighbor bring it over later and put it in the garage. Snicker. LOL, thank goodness crochet isn't heavy like that, huh!
Woo hoo on your yarn order!
Hope you're soon feeling less tired and also soon don't have headaches.

Ksulliv,
Sorry, I think I said
that wrong! 
What I
meant is that if it's a small enough piece, you might be able to
get away with knitting it as is, even though your stitches will be
rectangular while the cross stitch chart has square
stitches.
But over a larger piece it will
become more obvious. So it depends on how large your chart is, and
then there's no rule of how big is too big. It's unfortunately just
plain old trial and error.
A Chewbacca
pattern would be more difficult than, say, something abstract,
because if it's abstract you wouldn't notice the skewing. But with
something as recognizable as Chewbacca, that's hard to predict.
