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!  Laughing

As a fellow Tennessean, you better not let anyone know your crocheting an Alabama blanket....lol.

What is a good starting place for a lefty?

Welcome!  Smile

Please be sure you're logged in when you go to create your pattern.  If you're not logged in, you won't get the PDF option, which is where you can set your output for colors and/or symbols.

When logged in, down at #7 it should give you a choice of Pattern on Screen or Pattern in Pdf Format.  You'll want to choose the latter (which is the default); PDF format is where you'll get the option to choose "Symbols Only" or "Both Colors and Symbols."

If you're not logged in, you won't get the PDF option, so that will default you to colors only.

Hello Shawn,
If you haven't found it already, there should be a button at the top of the page that says patterns, click create pattern and that will take you to the pattern wizard page where you can upload your image and make your selections.
If you're a premier member, you can customize certain parts of your pdf, as well as having access to other benefits.

Hope that helps.

Kitti,

I'm not sure what you're asking.  If you're making a pattern 80 stitches across, that is your stitch count and it will be the same for all rows; otherwise, your patterns would have shorter and longer rows here and there and would not be even, which would defeat the purpose of making the pattern in the first place.
