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!

Gosh! Well, keep trying, everything will work out, even if it sure does not feel like it right now. It would look nice side-by-side, but of course right now it is out of the question. I love to know that you are watching my progress, and you can always do it as soon as you get material. Thank you, and if you do ever start please post pictures!
Chris,
Welcome!
Close! Your chain doesn't actually count as a row, so you start reading from right to left, and then when you reverse you read left to right.
AHammons,
Welcome!
The reason we don't allow you to set the number of rows is because the freePatternWizard ensures your pattern doesn't get skewed. If you were to designate a specific number, unless you had the exact correct number, your pattern would end up being too tall or too short, where your aspect ratio would not be kept. In this case, you'd have 64 too few rows and you'd end up with a too-short, too-wide image.
As of now you can fiddle with your image by adding borders beforehand in a paint program, which would keep your aspect ratio and also get it to the correct (or close to the correct) number of rows and stitches per your gauge swatch. We're currently talking about how to offer some way of allowing the designation of a number of rows, where the software keeps the image from skewing, retaining your pattern's aspect ratio; however, at this time such a feature isn't available.
Thanks to one of our Private Label Pdf subscribers, a bug was reported where text sometimes got cut off on the pdf when there were more than 70 characters in a Private Label item stored in the database. The data was actually there but in certain cases, it appeared to be cut off and did not show up on the pdf.
I just made a change that fixes the problem.
Also, currently there's a 300-character limit to the various text option items (company, email, web site, notes, and copyright). Please let me know if you want more.
Now back to finishing up some new stuff -- both free and a couple new Premier areas.
Dear Melanie! Yes, my yarn arrived and I just started row 6!
I will of course share pictures. Honestly, this year is the first year I try to make all the presents myself. We have a sort of no-presents-for-Christmas rule, but I started to make an entrelac loop for my sister-in-law and wanted to make something for my mother-in-law, because I am so thankful to her. I ended up thinking, if they get something, I have to make something for everyone. So here is my list:
Father-in-law: dark grey scarf in chess board pattern (WiP)
Mother-in-law: Moebius loop
Sister-in-law 1: a crocheted sunflower
Her boyfriend: No idea yet....
Sister-in-law 2: Knitted entrelac loop (WiP)
Her boyfriend: a pair of socks (WiP)
Grandmother (in-law): candles
There is the big problem which is my boyfriend (I am using the term in-law, although we are not married. We have been together for 16 years, though...). I have no idea what to get him. He doesn't appreciate self-made stuff, so I have to figure out something else. Most likely it will be theater tickets or something similar...
And my direct family - we have not given us presents for years, we hardly ever see each other for the holidays. Although I am making things for the kids, but they are technically birthday presents. The two little ones will get star wars amigurumis (it was their choice) and the elder one (she is 19) will get a belt for her camera for which I have knitted a colorful cover. I thought about crocheting tank slippers for my brother, since he is a soldier. But at the moment, he is quite frustrated with his job (they are cutting a lot of budget and the work is getting increasingly difficult), so I will have to think about that...
