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!

Hi, very sorry for the delay!
I'm wondering if you may have been trying to do this while I was updating the servers. If so, I can see why you'd get the blank page.
We have been getting new subscriptions so I know the program is working so please try again and let me know if you still have a problem.
Thanks again for your understanding and patience!

Hi Melanie, haven't been on in a long time. Just too many things and not enough time to enjoy any of it. I am still working on the vulture tapestry, about 6 inches left to finish the loomed part. Then the "real work" will begin tucking in all the 311 warp threads and attaching the vulture permanantly to the bottom right corner. And deciding how I will attach it to the Mesquite limb I have waiting for it to hang. And of course getting it to its new forever home.
Here'a the newest pic of what I have gotten done since the photo I added last year. I can only get about 4 lines of beading done to it in a day of beading since it takes me 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to pick up and lock down each line of beads. I measured how many lines in an inch and it comes out to 13. You can see I have made progress since last year's pic. I did take a couple of months or so off from working on it through the Christmas holidays so i could bead a few gifts for friends locally and online. It was a nice break in working on this big rascal.
Sooo, given I am not a mathematician and not sure of the correctness I figured it out to be 221 lines of 310 beads for a total of 68,510 11/0 seed beads for the loomed background when finished and will be 20" wide by 17" high. When I look at that total of beads it will be I can see why it has taken me well over a year to get this far. And that bead count does not include the vulture which is done in 11/0 Delicas peyote stitch and hard to get an exact count due to it being a freeform shap. Needless to say I ahve not attempted to get a bead count on it yet. LOL
I'm having the exact same issue with the DMC colors for cross stitch patterns. It never uses the colors I've chosen, or it uses the colors it selects. On the rare times it does use colors I've picked, it will leave out at least 2 of them.
Robin,
You're so welcome!
Swaldor,
Welcome!
The freePatternWizard currently doesn't allow any settings for number of rows in the pattern, only the number of stitches across. The reason for that is if you were able to set the number of rows as you wish, your pattern would most likely turn out skewed, and those results would be undesirable.
One solution would be, as you mentioned, adding solid colors. Ultimately, we'll be offering functions that will allow more flexibility for setting pattern rows, as well as stitches across, but for now, the best way to remedy a pattern that isn't long enough is to do something along the lines of adding solid colors.
Hope that helps!
