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!

As we were setting up the illusion knitting function, we discussed what to include when sending to a pdf. Our final decision was to offer an illusion graph and/or a word chart.
The word charts were pretty straightforward. And instructions are included on the key page. So a partial word chart might look like:
Now to the graph. Since every other row of an illusion graph is basically knitting a full row across, some charts out there leave these rows out with the understanding that whoever's knitting will remember this.
Other charts out there use 3 colors to represent knitting, purling, and a full knitted blank row.
All this seems confusing so we have the PatternWizard creating the chart showing ALL rows. Again, instructions are included on the key page. So a sample of an illusion chart is:
We'd like any feedback as to whether this is the best approach.
Another thing we discussed was to offer a straight knitting chart. This would be a chart with one row per original image row. (Remember that an illusion chart winds up to be 4 times the number of original rows). So a 100-row pattern would wind up being 400 illusion-knitted rows. Would you feel there's a need for the 100-row chart in addition to the 400-row illusion chart that we output now?
Also, we number every row. Would you rather see every 5 or 10 numbered?
Finally, the word chart allows MC/CC, Color A/B, or Color 1/2. Would you like to see anything else?
Thanks for any input.

Hi girls! Sorry you had to wait for an answer for so long. I was typing one on my phone a few days ago, had to check a vocabulary and when I got back here everything I typed was gone and I lost patience... Sorry for that!
Now that I am back on the computer I was also able to upload the pics in my x-mas album. They just have been to big and I did not have a possibility to resize them on the phone.
Wow, just reading about your cookies and treats my mouth waters and I automatically have a few pounds more on the hips - as if there weren't enough already!
Melanie, so sorry to hear that you are still not finished! I hope you will be done soon and can get a Mexican-not-too-spicy-dinner in the vicinity of your new place soon!
We actually have SNOW in Vienna! We came back home yesterday evening and it is snowing since 2 days, all over Austria. In a big city like Vienna, this brings grey mud, loud snow-clearing vehicles and annoying salt and gravel on the roads... But in the countryside, it is quite nice!
I am new to graphing and really didn't want to have to write it all myself so I did written instruction using TSS vertical. My question is. Are the written instructions from bottom to top and right to left on rows? I am doing a picture and wanting to add a border with letters in the top and bottom.

Horsesense,
Welcome! 
I'll alert
Terry (Support) to your message. I'm not really sure of what's
going on...this sounds like a technical issue.
Sherry,
This is absolutely
amazing! 
Love, love, LOVE it!
Love, love, LOVE it! What a brilliant
idea, to use up scraps so efficiently.
Thank you so
much for posting!
