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

Shaleigh,
Thank you for posting such awesome pictures! Kiss It's looking great already...and that's a fantastic idea, to highlight the parts you've already done. Especially with something so large, you need to know where you've already worked.
I much prefer stitching without a hoop. It was likewise odd for me, too, when I first started without one, but eventually it became second nature and was kind of freeing to work sans a hoop! Kiss
Please feel free to keep posting pictures of your progress...it's so nice to follow along with you! Kiss


Ksulliv,
Sorry, I think I said that wrong! Embarassed
What I meant is that if it's a small enough piece, you might be able to get away with knitting it as is, even though your stitches will be rectangular while the cross stitch chart has square stitches.
But over a larger piece it will become more obvious. So it depends on how large your chart is, and then there's no rule of how big is too big. It's unfortunately just plain old trial and error. Frown
A Chewbacca pattern would be more difficult than, say, something abstract, because if it's abstract you wouldn't notice the skewing. But with something as recognizable as Chewbacca, that's hard to predict. Frown


Nope.  I so appreciate you sending the link but unfortunately, I'm still getting only black and white.  Sad

Anna,
