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!

Sorry if this has been answered before, but a newbie to the site here. I have created a few patterns but how can i make my graph and pattern run side to side and not bottom to top?
Robin,
You're so welcome!
What you really must do is make a gauge swatch. Without knowing how many stitches and rows per inch you'll have in your finished pattern, it's impossible to tell if it's going to be square or rectangular. Everyone hates swatching, but it's necessary.
For knitting you'd use regular stockinette stitch.
You'd still need to do a gauge swatch, whether you knit or crochet.
Once you swatch, if you find that neither one will turn out square, you may need to manipulate your image before turning it into a pattern. While we do have a feature in development at this time to allow you to set a length as well as a width, we originally only allowed the one dimension because we were concerned people would make images that would be too elongated or too wide in order to get it to a certain number of stitches/rows.
If you're using Windows and don't have a graphics program, I can suggest two very powerful ones, though I can't tell you how to use them...I'm still using one from 1998!
Thanks for the welcome! I have already started posting some of my patterns in albums - hope to get some more up soon. I did fill out the profile pretty extensively which gives a lot more of my background. I am looking forward to become a part of this community! Thanks again.
Long time no see...
Winter FINALY hit Denmark.. Siberian winter here we come..
It's very cold by now.. Temperature is not so bad, but it is very windy..
SO.. I was looking for my hat, but couldn't find it.. So had to make a new one..
http://www.hjemmet.dk/haandarbejde/Hakling/Hakl-selv-Hue-i-muslingehakling/
pattern is the one above, i have not gotten very far, but since the hat is made on hook number 6 (J) so should be fast to make..
Mine is black, and I bought a pompom made from real fur, which was more expensive than the yarn.. :p
Will post pictures when I take some
