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!

I have made a cross-stitch project I have completed and would like to make a pattern of it to share with others
Am I able to do
that here? I tried "create a pattern" but it's requiring me to
upload a photo, is there a way around this (start with a blank grid
and add stitches manually)? Thanks so much!!
Lynn,
When you created your graph, did you make it as a PDF, and if so, on the first page it should have the image you've used, followed by four columns. The first one shows a small square of the color, the second has a heading of "symbol," the third is color (listed by number) and the fourth would be a "color description," telling you the names of the different colors. In my test image, I had a few shades of red, pink and purple, plus a white and a gray.
If this isn't showing for you, please let me know.
If there's a problem, as
long as Terry (Support) is able to reproduce it, he can fix it.
Neave,
I'm so glad Nicky helps you!
Otherwise, I'd be worried
that you'd have to do all of that work alone. 
Ooh, a chateau in southern France...gorgeous!
I can't sew, either. The only way I'm making a
dress is if I can use knitting needles or crochet hooks!
Does Char sew? If so, I'm envious, really! I wish I could sew.
Bridal stores can have some really nice selections, and when I used to go to some of them, they had many incredible dresses at a fraction of the cost, particularly when there was a sale of "certain gowns priced at $100." One of my friends found a dress at one of the $100 sales (I don't know if she wore that particular one on her wedding day, as we weren't in touch at that time) at a bridal shop. She was thrilled. She brought it to a woman who used to sew all of our clothes (the woman was putting away all of the money she earned for her daughter's education)...the woman confided in me that she
felt the wedding gown wasn't really a great quality
thing. But she added some really nice beads, sequins,
etc, to it, and it was gorgeous! And I doubt she had to pay
much for the extras, so for her, the gown cost maybe $120 or so
altogether.
Thanks! I'll ask my husband about
6/21...sigh, like I said, he's so picky, he hasn't liked a single
date I've suggested so far.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a pattern
with the pattern creator and it looks very good, but the real card
only has 6 solid colours and the pattern gives me so many, every
cross stitch seems to be a different colour. I've been playing with
the options the creator has, but I haven't found out which of the
image enhancement options I need to get more solid coloured areas.
Does anybody here know? Thanks.
Gloshei,
So glad the Wizard has worked out for you!

We do have the Anchor
palette available! You'll have to remake your pattern and
when you do, in area 5a change DMC to Anchor. Here in the US,
Anchor is difficult to find and much more expensive, so most people
here generally use DMC. I completely understand why you'd want
Anchor...am guessing you're in the UK or Europe?
