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.

We have many more features planned, too!

De'Andrea,
Love your "bead soup" - it looks so artistic!
For your first beading tapestry, this is even more amazing!
What a great idea to make jewelry to get a break from your tapestry. It makes a lot of sense. Long term projects can get very tedious if you don't take a break, and then it's easy to get discouraged because it's the same thing...all...the...time! So that's very smart to work on smaller projects here and there.
Oooh, I hope you can hand deliver the project! To see the look on your friend's face
would have to be sooooooo rewarding!
Keep up the great work and am looking forward to seeing it progress...thanks for sharing your amazing work with us!
Hi everyone.
I just made an update that addresses newer browser versions that monitor "secure" and "non-secure" connections. A few members have asked why their browser shows "Not Secure" in the address bar. With this update that message should now be gone.
Since most pages at our site include a "Log In" function, we now use our secure server everywhere, including at the freePatternWizard.
The only one-time side effect is that you may need to retrain your browser when you next go to log in. If your browser normally saves your username and password, you may need to re-enter it and let it re-save it once again. After doing this it shouldn't ask again.
Sorry for any inconvenience but this is a needed enhancement to keep the site up to date with present and future browser requirements.

Silvertiger,
Hmm, that doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. I'm guessing the designer didn't properly figure the adult size of the pattern. I've had that kind of thing happen, and it's frustrating.
So what do you plan to do...will you rip it out, or give it away to someone else?
Hope you can figure out your new computer soon.

Donna,
Welcome!
As you've
noticed, something as large as a logo is difficult to work with
when you're going that small. The best suggestion I can give is to
make sure you have your original image in a pixel-to-stitch/bead
ratio (meaning if you want 20 beads across, you should have 20
pixels in your image). This, of course, won't be possible with a
lot of images, as you'll lose most or all of the detail when trying
to make the images so small. 
Then when you
have the image as small as you want it in beads, in #6 in the
freePatternWizard you'd set the number of stitches/beads in this
way: I wish to enter my desired count -
Number of stitches desired: XX (where XX is the number
of beads across that you desire, rather than the default of
80).
The other thing is that the
freePatternWizard for now will set the height for you. We made it
that way originally so people wouldn't skew or truncate their
patterns. A future version will allow you to designate the height,
but for now the freePatternWizard will do that
automatically.
My guess is the NFL images
are too detailed to go that small, but I'm not very familiar with
them and don't know if that's true.
Hope
that helps!
