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!

Kimtchon,
Welcome!
Good news! We currently have that feature in development, so it isn't yet available. I don't yet have a time frame for it.
Sherry,
Thanks so much for the great input!
I've had the trouble you mentioned with the Simply Soft. I've never used it for a graphghan, but for other projects, there were some issues with weaving tails. It's also a bit thinner so I've had to use a larger hook (or needles) to get the right gauge, as well (which can make it too loose or lacy), and it's too soft to use for some stitch patterns, as it doesn't really hold up to them. I've used it for baby blankets in the past, and for that it worked quite well.
Red Heart is what I hear about from a lot of people, due to the number of colors and easy availability.
Angela,
Sherry is correct, the stitch would be single crochet for standard. The reason we call it standard instead of single crochet is because it's called double crochet in the UK, not single crochet. Calling it standard covers both.
At this point in time we don't have a way of adjusting the vertical spacing of your image. While we're working on a way to do this with image manipulation (so that your image doesn't skew or get truncated), at this time the best thing to do is to work with your image in a graphics program to add borders so that you can make it the specific size you want in the program.
Melanie,
Most of this yarn is superwash... So it can't be felted.. :p
I asked of this specific type of yarn, so that i would be able to wash them in the machine on other programs than the wool one, to get them completely clean if the boys spilled something on them.. :p
Hugs
