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!

Faith,
Welcome!
C2C is so much fun! It's one of my favorites!
Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately, that I don't know. It's such a cute pattern, and its a shame there is no color key. Thanks again!

Piddy,
Okay, I think we're using terms interchangeably that aren't interchangeable. So here's an example; please specify which one you're doing in the drawing below, the left or the right.
In this example, your afghan is either 100 stitches x 250 rows (left) or 250 stitches x 100 rows (right).
Which one will you be doing? Will you be working from row 1 to 250, or will you be working from row 1 to 100?
If you're working as the example on the left, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working vertically.
If you're working as the example on the right, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working horizontally.
This is the cause of my confusion. If you say you're working horizontally, the example on the right is what I'm seeing. So if you're actually doing the left example, you're working vertically, and that's what we call portrait mode. If you're doing the right example, you're working horizontally, in landscape mode. Think about it as a picture on the wall. In most cases, the left would more likely be a portrait of a person, the right would more likely be a landscape, such as a sunset or a forest scene, where you want to see a wider view.
So, as long as you send the image in either like the example on the left, if you'll be working the rows that way, or if you send the image in like the example on the right, if you'll be working the rows that way, you'll be working the stitches correctly.
My guess is you're really doing what's on the left, but you're calling it horizontal, which is incorrect, as it's vertical. And if that's the case, as long as you sent your image in as a vertical image, then it's fine.
Line,
LOL, I can so relate to you almost hating your cardigan! Every time I make something large, I get very frustrated that it takes so long.
Oh, yum, the yarn sounds wonderful!
Hugs,
Melanie

Secoya,
This is gorgeous! It sounds like it will match your bunad
perfectly when you make it into a purse, and what a lovely design
for it!
Dark fabric can
be very hard to stitch on. It looks amazing...but it's definitely a
labor of love to see it well enough for stitching.
As for the top slants of your cross stitches, are you
left-handed? It's my understanding that left-handed people cross
their top crosses facing right. (I'm right-handed and mine slant
left.) IMO there's no right or wrong, as long as all of the top
crosses are all facing the same way.
