New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
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, Calipage.
I see what you're talking about. As we have always posted, we initially did our best to get the colors right for beads, yarn, and floss. Once in a while someone reports an incorrect color but after a few years, there are not as many problems.
I did just scan through the Delica palette of colors and verified that DB1744 is the only one that is entered as nearly black when it should have color. I'll correct this color as soon as I post this message. One other problem we have with bead colors is that there is not really a standard color value from which we can enter into our database. Even bead manufacturers don't have color values by which we can use.
As an example, here are a few different images of DB1744 beads:
These images are from various sources, all showing DB1744. I realize none are close to black but I'm just letting you know that the colors we use in our palettes may or may not be the actual colors you see when you get the beads.
So in answer to your question, it's rare to find a color that's way off in our program (like this particular bead color). It was definitely incorrect in the database and will get corrected immediately.
We also thank everyone who does report incorrect, discontinued, or new colors.
I apologize for this and actually just updated the database. Here are the before and after colors:

Hi, Everyone.
I've had a couple users bring up a problem with trying to download charts since I switched everything to a secure connection.
After looking into it a little more, it turns out that some browser versions and some device operating systems only allow downloading files by clicking on a download link. The current software performs downloads in a more advanced way through browser communications and not by clicking on a link.
SO, I'm going to quickly make a change to the internal download process. It appears that most of the problems are coming from Android devices so once I enable the changes, Android users will need to do one additional step to get their chart downloads.
I'll explain it more when the changes are done.

Debbie,
Feel free to share images of any work you've done...not just with loom knitting, of course. We love to drool!
yeah it was a lot of fun
You've been upgraded! Also note that if you want to make even larger patterns, you can pay only $4.99 for one year to get almost twice what you're getting now...instead of up to 300 stitches across, you'd get up to 500! To get this premier feature, go to "patterns/premier features" in the menu.
