Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

Amanda,
Welcome!
How cool that you've been crocheting so long! I understand about feeling old, LOL, but no worries, crochet is ageless and the fact that you've been crocheting so long just means you started young enough to still be young!
I'm not sure what problem you're experiencing with the palette, but it doesn't sound like a crochet issue, so I've asked Terry from Support to respond.
I have noticed on the pattern maker that many of the colors have different names than the recent Miyuki color list. It is hard to search by number for many of the sellers. So, I've tried searching by color name as well as number.
Many bead sellers don't have a search that will take the numbers either. Usually have to search by color name. Like taupe is no longer a color used by Miyuki bead sellers. It'll come up as khaki, gold, or something else. "DB26 Metallic Steel Iris" comes up as "DB26 opaque metallic luster dark steel" with the sellers. Which took me a while to find in their Delica lists.
I was wondering if there was a way to possibly update the delica lists? I've had to compromize a lot and then find out that the color was there, just didn't have the same name, just the same number (which didn't come up in a number search)
thank you.
Debbie,

Also hoping it stays away for

Gloshei,
Welcome!
What a wonderful and interesting name
you have!
What a wonderful and interesting name
you have!I'm sure your daughter will love
such a beautiful and thoughtful gift! 

In my opinion, I
don't think one necessarily needs to be an expert beader to do a
project like this. Though it definitely does require a LOT of
patience, as it's a super long-term project!
A suggestion I have for starting something so large is
if you'll be using even count peyote, to bead a number of waste
rows before you start your project. The reason I suggest that is to
stabilize the rows so that you'll be able to work from bottom to
top very evenly. I actually do this for small projects, so it
doesn't just work for large ones. Otherwise, I find the bottom rows
of any project can look wonky and unattractive, as I'm just getting
into the correct tension for the beadwork. 

Best of luck
and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! 

Thanks so much for your help
