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!

Hi Olivia,
The program currently supports the following image formats:
.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .tif, .psd, .svg, .pcx, and .wbmp
These are for logged-in members. Non-members can only use .gif or .jpg images. I'm assuming if you're posting here in the Community, you're a member so the list above should apply.
This message also can show up if you sent it an invalid image.
What type of image are you using?

Hi, I'm new also, just thought I would throw this in too. Pic Monkey is a free online picture editing site, that let's you do all kinds of things with your images.
Hope this helps!

Really beautiful and inspiring!

Mary,
You're very, very welcome! We love to hear that people are getting good use out of our program!
Your questions are very, very good...not dumb at all!
I personally work square stitch side to side, meaning I work each colomn of beads from left to right or right to left. Which is not to say someone couldn't work, say, top to bottom or bottom to top...it's simply a personal choice, though they'd have to switch their graph to loom for that, of course, as beads are wider than they are high.
If you're flipping your work, yes, you're going to have to change the orientation of the way you read your chart, as well. Normally what you do with any type of chart is to read it the opposite way every other row. For instance, when I work a crochet project, I work from one side to the other, and then odd and even rows will each work the opposite way, so I need to remember to read the chart the opposite way. So, say you're working a square stitch chart and you start with the rightmost column...you'd then work your first column, and then if you decided to flip it thereafter, you'd read the chart the opposite way, reading it from bottom to top or top to bottom, depending on where you are. I hope that's clearer than mud?
(Also, as you start to see
your pattern develop, you'll have a better idea of which way you're
going, though it may help to mark your pattern with arrows so at
first you know which way is which for which row.)
You can change the number of stitches across to less than 80 by choosing this option in #6:
"I wish to enter my desired count - Number of stitches desired: __ stitches"
and entering your desired number in the box. You may or may not find the results are what you want. If not, I'd suggest is manipulating your image in a graphics program before sending it through the Free Pattern Wizard. If you don't have a graphics program, there is a free one called Gimp, available here:

Hope that helps!
