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!

Hi,
Sorry about your last message. There's currently an intermittent issue with posting blank messages. I made a couple Community changes tonight to see if they fix the problem.
Could you please re-post your last answer?
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response. I admit it, I was panicking yesterday as this is the first complicated loomed piece I've done, meaning one with more than 5 colors. And it looked like I was going to have to buy bushels of beads to weave it.
I guess I'm wondering if you add new colors as Miyuki puts them out. While I thought I had a lot of different blue beads (overe 100 colors) I only had two colors that the program gave me. Yes, I know there's many more colors than that, but I was hoping the odds were in my favor that I wouldn't have to buy 58 new colors of seed beads. Plus it seemed like the colors I did have were higher numbers than those on the pattern. It could be coincidence. And another of Life's little jokes.
Thank you again.

bgwatkins,
Welcome!
First, kudos on doing a gauge swatch!
Second, here's a chart I found for figuring out yarn from a swatch:

Hope that helps!

Raven,
Absolutely agree with you
there!
Good Morning,
I'm new to the
page. Trying to create a pattern for a graph of Baby Detroit
Tigers.
size 100x100 can't seem to get the
full outline of the english D to come out right. Any suggestions
?
