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!

With my lace I get 4 blocks per inch, with my cotton thread I get 2 blocks per inch
This is with 3dc and 3ch used to make the full and empty blocks.
The lace, Im wanting to make my aunt a scarf with roses.
I've already spent many hours working on a cross-stitch project generated with the pattern wizard, only to find that the floss colors specified on the pattern don't actually match the colors of the original image. They're close, but overall quite noticeably greener. For example, what's blue in my image is supposed to be stitched with a turquoise floss. The even weirder part is that the colors of the actual pattern itself, as they're printed in the grid, DO match the original image. But the floss it tells me to use does not match.
I can't see any way to salvage the work at this point, so I'm pretty much resigned to starting over.
Anybody have any comments, thoughts, suggestions for next time?
Thanks,
Laura
Ok thank you its to bad that we can't enlarge the pictures huh?
Melanie,
The '08 incident affected the whole world I am afraid.. But that is what happens when the bakns loan out money to people they know cannot afford the mortgages..
Anyhow, things are getting better day by day..
On the plus side with a house that needs renovating - you'll get it exactly as you want it to be.. The house is allready ruined (doors, windows, walls and so on), so if you'll want to knock down a wass to create more open rooms, then that is what you'll do
I would help you do the work if I lived closer.. But unfortunately we are 13 hours apart..
The area here is drop-dead gorgeous.. Went for a little car ride yesterday just to check out the area, lots of fields, forrests, dog parks and stuff around here.. I love it.. And the neighbours are very sweet
This is where I want to we.. We do
not have far to the harbor either.. Lots of pretty boats..
- Providing enough
exercise. Siberian Huskies MUST have
regular opportunities to vent their energy. Otherwise they will
become rambunctious and bored -- which they usually express by
howling and destructive chewing. Bored Siberian Huskies are famous
for chewing through drywall, ripping the stuffing out of sofas, and
turning your yard into a moonscape of giant craters.
- Unless you specifically want an athletic dog for sledding, carting, backpacking, or other outdoor-related activities, preferably in a cool climate, I do not recommend this breed. Siberian Huskies were never intended to be simply pets. Trying to suppress their "hardwired" drive to work, without providing alternate outlets for their energy, can be difficult.
- Bounciness. Young
Siberian Huskies (up to about two years old) romp and jump with
great vigor, and things can go flying, including people.
- If you have small children, or if you or anyone who lives with you is elderly or infirm, I do not recommend Siberian Husky puppies. The temptation to play roughly is too strong in many young Siberian Huskies.
- Strong chasing
instincts. Most Siberian Huskies have
strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing
creatures, including deer and livestock. If anything goes wrong in
the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of
this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other
animals.
- To keep your Siberian Husky in, and to keep other animals out, fences should be high, with wire sunk into the ground along the fence line to thwart digging. Gates should have the highest quality locks. Many Siberian Huskies are clever escape artists who will go over, under, or through fences in search of adventure.
- Stubbornness. Siberian
Huskies are not Golden Retrievers. They have an independent mind of
their own and are not pushovers to raise and train. They can be
manipulative, and many are willful, obstinate, and dominant (they
want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them
do things. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that
you mean what you say.
- NEVER show any kind of "mental" weakness when training..
- Heavy
shedding. Siberian Huskies shed a LOT.
You'll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery,
carpeting, under your furniture, on your countertops -- even in
your food. Frequent vacuuming will become a way of life. Make sure
you're REALLY up for this.
- Noise. Unless you
live way out in the boondocks and have no neighbors, Siberian
Huskies should never be left outside in your yard, unsupervised.
Their mournful howling will have your neighbors calling the cops to
report the nuisance -- or quietly letting your Siberian Husky out
of his yard so he'll wander away.
- Frankly, most Siberian Huskies are "too much dog" for the average household. Very few people can provide the types of athletic activities that keep this breed satisfied.
Show them this too.. I am sure they can be wonderfull Husky owners, as long as they take these few things seriously.. The breed is a wonderful companion when trained the right way.. They will have a friend for life..
But the dog can - and will be - their worst nightmare if they are not careful.
