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,
Here are a few ideas.
1. Try selecting 5c "Limit the number of colors" and set a number like 7.
2. Try setting section 8 "Color sensitivity" to a higher number. You may want to bring this number up to something like 100 or 200 and see what that does. The results vary by image so there's no magic number. If it's better, try a larger or smaller number and see if you like one better than another.
3. Choose section 5 "I will choose my colors" and select exact colors you'd like. This would allow you to define the number of colors and tell it to only choose the given ones.
4. Varying brightness and/or contrast will also vary the number of colors but this is not really their main use.
5. You can also try a combination of the above. (If you choose "I will choose my colors" in section 5, you will not be able to use 5c).
Let us know whether this helps.

Dennaew,
Welcome!
At this time editing functions are in development and aren't yet available. If what you're trying to add isn't in your original image, you won't be able to add it later on in this particular version of the software. Because the editing functions need to be rigorously tested, I'm sorry to say I can't give a specific date as to when they'll be ready.
I'm working on yet another 10 stitch blanket but instead of 10 stitches i'm using 20. I have gotten it to the right width but now I need to add some height to it. I'm planning on binding it off and then try to get the height but I want to use a different amount of stitches. Can any one tell me how to add on to a bound off project? Like do I pick up the desired amount of stitches and then work the corner, or do I go from the very edge and create the amount of stitches I want and then pick up the stitch as you normally would for a 10 stitch?
Neave,
Hahahahahahaha! I think we need to do that...can you imagine making $300,000 in one day...and then making that amount again the next day, the day after, the day after that, etc?! Boggles the mind!

Stitchpunk,
Welcome! What a great name! 
What a great name! If you're
crocheting, the only way to determine this is with (I'm so sorry to
say it!)...math. 
I know, this plagues all of us!
I know, this plagues all of us!
First, you'll
need to make a gauge swatch (I don't know many people who like
making those!), using your chosen hook and fiber. This will tell
you how many stitches and rows per inch you'll have.
Once you know that number, you can divide the number of
stitches per inch into the width and the number of rows per inch
into the height. That will tell you how large your crocheted piece
will turn out.
If you're
knitting, there's a similar procedure.
