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!)

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!  Laughing

Lauren,
A half cross stitch is basically working your stitches only one way, instead of returning and working the second slants over them to turn them into the X shape. So half cross stitches end up looking kind of like this:

only they'll be a little different, as these slashes are a font and not a stitch, so they're not being stitched on squares, LOL.
I agree, Shaleigh's project looks totally amazing! Kiss


HI Terry,  Thanks for the help. I didnt know how to repile so i just started and new post . I would love to send you some images. And when i do it i let the program choose my colors but if it gives me too many i do change the color thing from the default 20 to something higher like something in the 100's to start but i have gone all the way up to 500. 

Hi everyone!!  My name is Amanda.  I have been crocheting for almost 20 years!  Wow I can't believe how much I both hate and love that number!  I love it because I can't believe I have stuck with something for that long and I hate it because it makes me feel old even though I haven't even hit the natural age of 40. My mother taught me to crochet before I had graduated high school.  I made my first graphgan when I was 20 and there's been no looking back!!!  i love that I found this particular community.  I do have at least one question that I have scoured the boards looking for a possible answer to but either I am the only one with the issue or maybe people don't realize its off a bit.  When I get to the step of choosing a color pallette it doesn't show them all to me.  I am trying to make a graph of 2 flamings facing each other.  I want to use the caron simply soft color pallette and I want to choose my colors.  I can't choose all that are available because for some reason the pallette doesn't fit completely in the box its in.  Its like all the colots are there but I can't see them all because they have floated beyond the border as though the images didn't wrap or auto enter to the next line.  Am I making any sense whatsoever?  TIA

thexstitcher,

You're absolutely doing this right! and THANK YOU so very much for being interested in test stitching my patterns.  I have been a member of your facebook group for a little while now!  I haven't posted anything in there [or any other group] because I didn't want to run afoul of anyone's rules.  I tried to offer my free "how to create your own knit cowl" and the owner of the group took such offense at me she banned me from her group ...   I'm not here to compete with anyone, it's just my belief there's plenty of room for all craft type designers.

Here is a link to my cross stitch designs.  In a pm, let me know which you would like to test together with an email address and I will send you the pattern.  Also, for things like the baby sampler, if you just wanted to make the bear, that would be great too.

Thank you again!

Debbie
