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!

Cali,
Welcome!
Thanks...we'll gladly consider adding 10/0 Delicas! I definitely agree about larger beads...sometimes the smaller beads can be soooo hard to see!
Ok Thank you. I just really don't know what type this is so, I was just wondering if this stitch has a name.
Filet Crochet has been one of our most requested features and we've had a button showing for a long time. We just added this new feature and as we've been telling people, it's the newest Premier Feature.
This feature allows you to upload a drawing or graphic image and create your own filet crochet charts. You can turn on borders is you like, select turning chain count, and, as with other stitches, adjust your image with many optional tools. For those new here, the main freePatternWizard page is here.
Just a quick rundown...
Everyone subscribed to "All Premier Features" will already be able to access this new feature! Otherwise, when you subscribe to the Filet Crochet feature, you can then click on the "filet" button in section 3. When you do, section 5 will change to the following image:
Note the new options:
Borders lets you have the system automatically include top/bottom and/or left/right borders. You can also have it either count or not count the borders in your chart. So if you set it to not count borders and specify 40 blocks across and have left and right borders turned on, it would make a chart 42 blocks across. Telling it to count the borders would result in a chart that's 40 blocks across including the borders.
You can also set your desired turning chain count – either 2 chain or 3 chain. This will also affect the foundation starting chain count (explained in a moment).
Instead of "stitch" counts on the chart, it will now show "block" counts as shown below (note that some of the special formatting you see on the pdf cover page is made with the "Private Label (Custom) pdf Premier feature):
Next, on the cover sheet below the chart thumbnail image is a key showing that the black (filled-in) boxes are double crochet blocks and the others are open blocks. After this is information about the number of stitches that make up the foundation starting chain. A sample is below:
One other change is even row counts are now on the left and odds on the right. (For you left-handed stitchers, read this message about a new feature just added for you!
):
ALSO, we added filet default settings to the right "Settings" tab so you can make it always do borders or whatever when you select filet. These settings will only show if you have subscribed to the filet Premier feature.
We're looking for your input and please let us know what else you'd like! We're on a roll! Oh, yeah, and please subscribe to the filet feature!

Tutts,
Your message here is
truncated, but hopefully I addressed your concerns when replying to
your other message.
LOL, that's what I was thinking when I said a scarf can
never be too long...Doctor Who! That scarf looks like so much fun.
And as much as authentic is nice, I think it would be more fun in
one's choice of colors. The Doctor Who scarf is one of a kind...why
not make another one of a kind, rather than trying to duplicate?
Your scarf is going to be
awesome! That scarf looks like so much fun.
