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!

Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, and you have a lovely day, too!
Glad what I said was helpful.
Another work-in-progress from one of my favorite designers.
I have a bunad (Norwegian traditional dress) that came without a purse. To buy one would be $100, which is how much the bunad cost itself! The purses traditionally have embroidered designs on them, so I decided to stitch this and make my own purse out of it. The bunad has mainly blue/purple tones, so i decided to stitch it on a piece of perfectly sized navy blue 14 count Aida, which was a great choice because the colors really pop! It has gotten pretty wrinkled, just from traveling, but I will iron it (on the wrong side!) before finishing it and turning it into a purse. My stitching is pretty uneven because this is my first time working on a dark fabric, even though it is 14 count Aida, my go-to choice that has always been good to me. I t could be that my top stitches are facing to the right ( / ) and I think it looks beeter facing left. Does anyone know if this really matters?
Anyway, I love how this is turning out so far, and I will update it when I make progress.
This picture is on it's side, the actual project is roatated 90°, I do not know why it was flipped when I posted it.
Crystal,
Welcome!
Our beta test for the free 300 stitch upgrade ended quite some time ago. We've since made the 300 stitch upgrade into a nominal cost Premier feature. The introductory cost of 300 stitches is $2.99 for a full year, and 500 stitches is $4.99 for a full year (you don't need to do both if you want 500 stitches; 300 is automatically included in 500).

Ali,
If you're thinking of crocheting a pattern in embroidery floss, please be careful. Since embroidery floss is so small, you'll end up with a very large number of stitches.
If you're thinking of doing cross stitch on crochet with embroidery floss, the important thing is to be sure your fibers aren't completely different. Yarn will usually stretch; embroidery floss doesn't. Also, if you're combining two different fibers the care may be very different.
